Do you HATE cyclists ? POLL
To compliment the other thread, what are your feelings on cyclists, be they lycra louts three abreast blocking up the countryside, Critical Mass loons choking up city centres at rush hour to prove some point, kids with no concept of safety, law, rules or consideration of others, or the solitary good cyclist once spotted in Oxford 40 years ago.

I was in my van a couple of days ago and I was wanting to pull over into the expired bus lane, A girl on a bike took forever to move and I was edging across waiting for a safe time to pull over. She spent more time looking over her shoulder as though I was going to knock her off! I was fully aware of her but c'mon take more than 30 seconds to move 5 yards

I have absolotly no problem with these lycra clad spandexed eddie merx wannabees, with there bobbly shoes,
However...
if you want to use the road, please be aware.
its a 30mph limit for a reason!!!!! not so you can go 2 abreast and trundle along at 21mph as a mobile roadblock.
Likewise when a car or lorry or other road user who can go faster than you, and wants to pass, let them do so as soon as possible, not decide that you think it's your god given right to weave all over the bloody road, and then start getting leary, beacuse sombody is getting mighty pissed of at your complete lack of understanding of just what total gridlock your causing.

There seems to be some substance to the common dislike of these verm.... I mean cyclists 
Do you think they do themselves no favours with their behaviour ?

Cyclists are allowed to use the pavement in the UK, as long as they don't hinder or endanger pedestrians. If pedestrians are put at risk, cyclists should dismount or stop until it is safe to proceed. Of course, what they actually do is what car drivers are accused of doing to them, by shouting at walkers and trying to intimidate them out of the way

Scoobynets resident **** has appeared i see. Hi Davyboy.
Cretin?
Down this way he have loads of cycle lanes, but the cyclists don't use them for some reason.
When my mates suggested to a cyclist that he should use the cycle lane (and he was polite) he was told to ''go f**k yourself''. THAT is what i call a cretin
(You can call it a posh name, but it's still road tax isn't it)

Since when did all car drivers obey all rules and used consideration at all times? Being a driving instructor, you must witness loads of great driving.....

Another common trait for cyclists is being overly pedantic it seems
How much do cyclists contribute to all these cycle lanes and secure bike parking facilities, and all the other considerations such as Toucan crossings ? We pay for them, and then they have the discourtesy not to use them and be very rude about it
