Wojo 2,456 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I believe not cleaning snow or ice from a car roof has become a crime here. Of course, it's a bad idea to follow a big rig so closely in winter that you don't have room to avoid catastrophe. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 As a cyclist I tend to avoid pavements unless it's a joint cycle/pedestrian thing like heading out of town here and even then if it gets cramped give way to pedestrians or if they're ahead of me tinkle the bell. Never jump a red though where I cycle there rarely are lights and I don't have the balls to go down an one-way wrong way.Indeed, today near the rail crossing I stopped to let four cars past from the opposite direction. Two of which thanked me.Pet peeve from the saddle is those cyclists who do all the above plus no helmets and lights, especially after dark. Bike lanes with people swarming all over them and being cursed at for having the audacity to politely ask for way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omen II 1,256 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Bike lanes with people swarming all over them and being cursed at for having the audacity to politely ask for way.Yes, this! There's a bright red or green cycle lane with giant pictures of a bicycle painted all the way along it, with a massive wide pavement right next to it, and guess which one is being used by pedestrians?

There's a bright red or green cycle lane with giant pictures of a bicycle painted all the way along it, with a massive wide pavement right next to it, and guess which one is being used by pedestrians?my main example is a bridge we had built a few years ago linking estates and a secondary school and local college over the train station into town. As the town was part of a trial scheme for cycling I guess they felt the need to make it a segregated bridge -bike lane/pedestrian lane. Gotten to the point I stop cycling on school days into town as you get idiot kids six abreast and no room to get around. More trouble than it's worth.There's also two very seperate lanes (a grass verge goes down the middle for pete's sake), the pedestrian one is wide whereas the cycling one is a little narrow and yet it's the bike lane you find women/girls with prams and prams nowadays seem to be the size of a tank.

Glóin the Dark 1,377 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Well, a lot of the key features of modern discourse don't work so well in face-to-face verbal conversation. Sometimes people will just look at you strangely if you say the word "Lol" out loud. But on the internet they'll know exactly what you're getting at. Even more so with "Rotflmfao".
