A teenage boy was pushed off his bike by a fellow cyclist who overtook
him and carried on out of sight.

On Boxing Day a 15-year-old lad was cycling home on the pavement at the
side of the A18, High Street, Dunsville."A male was also cycling behind
him. For unknown reasons the male has passed the lad on his nearside and
pushed him off his bike. He’s then carried on along his way out of sight.

Clearly we need to address the issue of why cyclists do not feel safe cycling on roads.
A law mandating motor vehicles must leave at least 1.5 metres when passing a pedal cycle would be a good start.

Like the arsehole on a bicycle that passed me on the nearside within 6" of
my car?
I saw the cunt coming and decided that it was a good time to squirt my
windows.

Clearly we need to address the issue of cyclists riding on the footpath.
If they do not feel safe on the roads, then they should either push their
little toys, or grow up, get off the dole and buy a car.
It really is that simple.

Fast big things [1] go on roads, small slow things [2] go on pavements, then nobody is holding anyone up. It really is that simple.

[1] Cars, trucks, lorries, buses.
[2] Pedestrians walking or running, cyclists, mobility scooters.

if growing up means becoming like you, then NO BLOODY THANKS.

I have no fucking interest in looking good in YOUR eyes.
After all I ride a bicycle.
And we all know what YOU think of bicyclists. You think they are the
fuckwitted pits of humanity.
And because it is YOU who think that, that is an extremely great
compliment.
We must be doing something right.

Be visible and predictable on your bike -- :)
I find bikes damn' useful and convenient.
