Lunatic cyclist
- 16 April 2011 11:05102021sitting eating a sandwich in pencester gardens earlier, a bloke in his sixties at least raced down the path at breakneck speed narrowly missing my toes and the webbed feet of the two characters in the picture here.
strangely they seemed unconerned as you can see whilst i was launching into a tirade of invective at the two wheeled buffoon.
- 16 April 2011 11:26102024Cycling used to be banned in my local park, people cycled, but they knew their place in the scheme of things. The world seemed to know that wildlife, children and dogs and the random nature of their doings had to be catered for. Then came Livingston and the far-ranging greening of man's interaction with city life.
How is it that people of all shapes, ages, genders and sizes while making their own lives safer and their journeys more pleasant feel free to transfer the dangers to all that are least best placed to cope?
The occasional 'tinkle-tinkle' of the bell translates these days to, "get the **** out of MY way".
The law of unintended consequences needs far more rigorous enforcement!!!Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing. - 16 April 2011 12:21102032very eloquently put tom, we hear some cyclists moan about the roads being too dangerous and give that as a reason to make the pavements dangerous.
they know that nothing will be done about it so they carry on how they like. - Jan Higgins

Some cyclists are a law unto themselves they should be nicked but who is to stop them, the law do not seem to care.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
