Kin ell it looked mashed !!!!!! Me and emm came up the snake A57 today from glossop side , just you enter the first long tight left were some coppers attending to what looked ( ish) like a gixxer and a very mangled pani ...........an amby hoofed it passed going the other way ....hope all is well , no car involved so it looked like a racing ( ahem ) incident ......
About half three ......come up over Holme moss ......Christ it was shite , bloody Bradley wiggins wannabes alles uber weaving about on every bend ....we crawled up it ....tax the bastids !!!!!! And stop riding side by side chatting???? Inconsiderate twats!!!!!! I think the time is right ish as I live in my own time zone/world anyway
Hope no-one was badly injured? We had cyclists round here today - like a swarm of turd chomping flies! Each to their own I agree with, but have consideration for other road users!
I don't understand why cyclists ride 2-3 along see if other. You come around a left hander and boom there they are in the middle of the road!!
If they insist in talking to each other whilst out and about why don't they pull over or wait for traffic lights like motorcyclists do? (Ignore that one - forgot they don't wait at traffic lights!).
I note the cyclists werent the ones attended by the ambulance. It was motorcyclists. For every cycle there is one less car. Hope the riders were okay.
Its coz they've all been watching tour de whatever and thats how the lycra-lot roll And they roll further if streaming two more in front Hope the rider is ok, doesnt take much to destroy a Pani so lets hope thats the case here
Whats the problem with cyclists.They have two wheels just like us so I tend to give em a nod or wave.Then again im always on my racer training when not on the duke. Why not give it a try.Great for keeping fit and nice to be out in the fresh air although road riding you have to keep your wits about you same as riding a motorbike on UK roads.
tolerance ,? in UK society? - careful, you could put the Daily Mail out of business, and people could become nice to each other....
Dont have a problem with cyclists but there are a few clubs around here that see fit to ride in Pelatons, followed by queues of cars!
Yep when I was with a cycling club we used to ride two or three a breast.Stops stupid overtakes within a inch of your bike.Then again if on twisty roads we would always wave them on when safe and clear. Most cars used to put there hand up to say thanks. After riding the duke I really appreciate the peace and quite when out for a quick 15-20 mile hill circuit.Definaltely improves my cardio and leg stamina for my muay thai training.
Oh fuckin hell, here we go again. Someones stacked their Pani and the next thing all cyclists are c##ts...!! Eh? Well I cycle that area quite regular and its brilliant. Tough going in places but beautiful too. I suggest some of the haters here get off their fat arses and do some cycling too.
Not all cyclists Mary! Just the ones in front of me when I want to get past I do have a push bike but the seat disappeared when I last sat on it then the tyres burst! Seriously though, whether a pedal bike, motor bike, car or whatever, there will always be those that are dipsticks. If you have experience of a dipstick you're more likely to associate other users of that mode of transport as potential dipsticks! I'm certainly not a hater - life's too short!
And thats the problem with cyclists. I do myself a little, always single file, if you want to ride two-abreast go off road
Back on thread...anyone seen any reports? Hopefully thats good news, as bad news always gets out sooner
CYCLISTS, sorry but they are the most violent inconsiderate idiots were I live. Bloody hell, I like cycling but the twats are all over the road, no insurance etc etc taking up a whole bloody lane talking shite and laughing at the cars trying to pass. I seen 2 cyclists the other week taking up a lane, with at least 30 cars behind, I seen them look back laughing at the traffic and never once did they attempt to ride single file. Now these are country roads, but if I try and pass, I'm the worst in the world.
