Re: Nakes cyclists
As a cyclist and a car driver, I have to say I get more annoyed at my fellow cyclists, many of whom have no regard for the rules of the road, treat traffic lights as optional, undertake lorries signalling left (and then get angry when they nearly get killed), ride fast on pavements etc etc. I once knocked a guy off his bike when he came out from behind a stationary bus, and cycled straight across the road from pavement to pavement. Luckily I had slowed down as I approached the bus as I was concerned about people getting off the bus and crossing the road without looking. He wasn't hurt, but was insistent (against all evidence and common sense) that it was somehow my fault. He then cycled off without exchanging particulars, despite having done some minor damage to the front of my car.

Years ago, 250 cars together would have caused a second look, not 250 cyclists. Times change.
Talking of half-wits, this also can apply to quite a few motor vehicle drivers who have taken a test regarding the highway code and road safety. I think a person will either be good on the roads or bad regardless of passing tests and no matter what means of transport is being used.

Re: Nakes cyclists
Yesterday was Brighton Naked Bike Ride which I missed this year. Went last year and it was a brilliant fun filled day. About 120,000 people enjoyed it, however there were 3 complaints to the Police regarding nudity.Conclusion....not all folk are narrow minded moaners.
