Silly Cyclists

Your frequent reminder not to cycle up the inside of large vehicles, especially when there's any possibility they may turn left.

Two silly cyclists at the end not paying attention and recreating the motor vehicle collision 🤦‍♂️

What a silly cyclists. Be clear with your intentions and dominate your space, that way others can read what you are planning to do. I think the rider doesn’t know the area, saw the cycle marking (which is the route for a crossing from one side of the road to the other) and went

DON’T GO UP THERE

What on earth are these silly cyclists doing? Playing tag cycling? Around unsuspecting pedestrians? Completely the wrong image. Like a car advert depicting driving fast in a city. twitter.com/cargobikeben/s…

Interval training is a good way to increase your fitness. And with that comes the ability to sustain speed for longer. Note the rider here isn’t going that fast, often slowed down by traffic.

Silly cyclists don’t get anywhere when jumping red lights. *they likely got further than they would have if they waited at red lights.

Silly cyclist gets pulled over by the cops for what is assumed various offences. Does the filming road user go through the red light too? twitter.com/ChaponaBike123…

Don't be a Silly Cyclist. React to @SillyMotorists by braking, not holding your hands up, and being unable to avoid a collision. twitter.com/i/status/17502…

Good. In some cases some might argue that it is safer to go through a red light than wait. In this case, it appears less about safety and maybe more about saving time.

Don’t be a silly cyclist. When you can’t see the road ahead of the vehicle in front, take my caution, leave more space, brake a little harder.

A @sillycyclists and a @SillyMotorists collided, who's at fault? They say opposites attract, but this is taking it too far 🚴‍♂️💥🚘

And of course, not giving way to the pedestrian who is crossing is a down mark.

This is what we call a Silly Cyclist! Positioned to the right of the lane puts you in a position of danger, vehicles turning in to the junction won't expect you there, thus putting yourself at risk to those turning into the junction without proper observations.

@AndyWandy777 @cyclegaz And why bother? I’m dressed in cycling kit to be comfortable putting in big efforts. He’s dressed in off bike clothes, no need to get sweaty!

@sillycyclists @cyclegaz Just wanted to prove he could beat you. It's always interesting losing a race you didn't know you were in! To be fair, if he didn't turn off he would've slowed right down anyway. I'm sure he couldn't maintain any pace. Complete and utter...

When a motorist takes a bike ride. A classic Must Get In Front move. Why overtake when you are about to turn left?

@NickBooHedgehog @cyclegaz Might be why he turned off 😶‍🌫️

@sillycyclists @cyclegaz What a fookin knob head , bet he ran out of steam after that .

@alex_velovelo1 Nah.

@sillycyclists Did they retort with anything? Like "yeah I am ya know"

@owl_ruth I was 25 miles deep into a commute at that point, and I think going 22mph. So no small effort. He certainly had to put down a bit to catch up

@sillycyclists Thought I recognised the camera set up When the commentary kicks in I *knew* I recognised it! But now I'm thinking Gaz is having an off day (or the dickhead was on an ebike)

Also silly for their cornering technique. It luckily gave me a clue right away they were about do something silly. However, you should really corner whilst seated and with your outside foot pointing down. This gives you the most control and avoids pedal strike if you are leaning

@anneramsey740 @adamstan91 Spot on. a little thought about their upcoming turn and they could have drafted behind me and then peeled off. Save a bit of energy, doesn't impact me.
