If two cyclists crash into each other, who will they blame?

Run to the nearest road and flag down a car... it'll be his fault.

I was reading about that, in some other country, cyclists watch for a lone
car/driver and then report that it ran them off the road, they then have an
insurance to claim off for damaged bike and injuries.

[nik.morgan]

So you have stayed in London before?

Some Middle East countries used to throw grandma under a truck for the
Insurance because a foreigner would be certain to have cover and grandma
was no longer a contributing family member.

Indeed:

'The lines are there to stop cyclists careering into railings. Pedestrians are
free to go where they like.�


You really could not make it up could you. Perhaps they should put up pictures
of the railings with notices underneath : "Cyclists: beware of the railings.
This is what they look like,"

[Judith]

The council because they have not clearly split the cycle lane into two: one
for one way, the other for the opposite direction?

How on earth can a cyclist know what to do.

I've been reading that in this country, a lot of car users add a claim for
whiplash after a trivial knock.

Is there another route for pedestrians over what appears to be a bridge?
Is there any reason that cyclists cannot push their bikes over the bridge ?
Do cyclists need more than a few inches of width to ride on?
Does it matter which of the papers (there are others) report an item?
Are you as dim as you lead others to believe you are?

Indeed.

Look what bungling Kent County Council workers did to Halliloo Valley
Road.

Not even an inch for pedestrians.

No reason why pedestrians can't continue to do what they usually do and
ignore cycle lanes.

[Dave - Cyclists VOR]

That road is rarely, if ever used by pedestrians you idiot. Unlike a
main bridge in the middle of an urban area.

Anyone seen a set of goal posts?

The basic idea is that by degrading others (making downward comparisons)
people feel better about their own selves. It is like that old quote
about kings comparing themselves to peasants, and peasants comparing

What about calling people 'hagfish'?

Whilst heading towards the road, not being run off it, retard.

[Dave - Cyclists VOR]

Then why did you post a link to him approaching the road you retard?

[Bertie Wooster]

On Wed, 10 Oct 2012 18:46:10 +0100, Dave - Cyclists VOR

To show that he'd been run into a ditch you great buffoon.

[Mrcheerful]

Still no ditch, I see a sensibly dressed walker that is observant enough to
notice a vehicle coming and give it plenty of room to get through on a
narrow road, he certainly does not look like a prat, and I think it is rude
of you to say he is.

[Mrcheerful]

He was not run off the road, he is clearly visible walking on the road, then
stepping off to let the google car through, then checking the road is clear
to recommence his walk. That road is barely six feet wide, would you think
he should take 'primary position' and not let the car past till Boot?

I realise that is the sort of stupid thing that you might do, but clearly
the walker had more common sense than you do, along with more knowledge of
the highway code.

Try rule 1 of the Highway Code.

[Dave - Cyclists VOR]

But it didn't, you retard.

"And what about this poor soul run off the road into a ditch?
http://goo.gl/maps/3j8hy"

The picture on that link clearly shows a man heading towards a road, not
being run off it.

Another obvious factor is that, if you insult someone online, it’s
unlikely you’ll face any physical retaliation for it. Epley compares the
resulting psychological distance to being isolated inside a car, another
situation that seems to make people more prone to abusiveness.”

The internet brings freedom of speech to everyone without fear of any

Do you really think your references to hagfish make my life more
interesting? I could find out all I ever want to know about hagfish from
google. I'm here because I enjoy the wriggling of those who attempt to
argue black is white.

[Mrcheerful]

No, he chose to step to the side to let the camera car past.

And had you taken the time to post all three links in the first place,
it still wouldn't show him being 'run off the road', you halfwit.

The education system is clearly in a worse state than I thought.

[Dave - Cyclists VOR]

A fine example of how motorists & pedestrians cooperate.

How strange that motorists & pedestrians do so, but both are united
against serial law breaking cyclists?

Incredible wriggling on Cwispies part. He posts a link showing the
wrong picture of a man who chose to sensibly allow a car to pass, then
tries to wriggle out of it.
