Re: Anti Cyclists

Brake Blocks and Buckled Wheels were the curse of the Cyclist for unintended resistance, now bikes have disc brakes and, have yet to try one equipped in this way, will do so soon, and report back.

The trouble is that you can't do anything because half of them have cameras on their heads but they have no licence plate on their vehicle.

It is indeed a huge irritation that there are those cyclists who mkae such a bad name/reputation for the vast majority of sensible ones.

Cyclists' Lives Matter. If anyone disagrees, I trust they will get round to removing the plaque made for Sir Frank Bowden

Yeah, they are the preferred mode for delivering drugs too! I have seen drug dealers on bikes, throwing the drugs into parked cars!

Mind you, it is somewhat irritating when you get a couple of cyclists dumping their bikes on the floor outside shops, which are a trip hazard, to say the least.
