"How much of the fecking road do you need? Stay to the left and less of that swinging shit. " They're dead right, anytime I see people, particularly kids, cycling in single file I tell they should be 2-3 abreast. To many dickeheads on the road only too willing to pass when it's not safe and then cut them off to squeeze in...spread out! | |||

"Years ago you were told stay in single file on the road on a bike now it's 3 or 4 a breast on a Sunday morning out for aspin and chat" The quantity of cars on the road since "years ago" has more than doubled. Cars are also going a lot faster, and many people are just really bad drivers. Anybody in road safety today will tell you cyclists should cycle side by side, take up the full lane and let motorists prepare and over take safely as they would any other road user. | |||

"Cyclists should not be allowed on any road outside urban settings until they pay the same money for licence, VRT,road tax, insurance as car drivers do. They are pests and a f#£@ing menace!" Most cyclists already own cars so pay road tax VRT is a government tax so nothing to do with Cyclists Personally have more of a problem with car drivers than cyclists and I don't even have a bike | |||

The types that are always in a hurry to nowhere, no road etiquette. These are the types of people that want cyclists to stay single file so they can try and cut them off by squeezing between them and oncoming traffic! | |||

" I cycle a good bit and to be honest the way the roads are gone with traffic these days I would prefer to cycle alone and stay as much to the left as possible at least this way you are a smaller “obstacle” to overtake! Its funny, I never gave much thought about cyclists before taking up the sport but once you have experienced feeling the wind off of someone’s wing mirror on your elbow you realise how much care needs to be taken when passing them. I owned a motorbike before and I think everyone should drive one for a year, then you will know how to anticipate issues that may be around the next corner. Too many “new drivers” out there now with textbook experience, you can’t beat real life experience. | |||

"Cyclists should not be allowed on any road outside urban settings until they pay the same money for licence, VRT,road tax, insurance as car drivers do. They are pests and a f#£@ing menace!" Great idea to pay all of this however, if I am paying to use the road I expect to be treated as an equal, I want to be able to use the whole lane (after all I've paid for it), I want dedicated traffic lights (just like on the continent), road markings and road signs (because I'm paying for them). Incidentally, as a low (no) emission or even an electric vehicle, currently, all bicycles would be exempt road tax. | |||

The further left you stay, the more likely motorists are to try and squeeze out between you and oncoming traffic. Then, when they can't make it, they'll cut you off. Putting you at risk. Take the full lane, let them overtake as they would a slower car or tractor. The people that complain usually have other issues, problems at home, problems at work, etc. They're stressed and unstable and incorrectly think they're in a rush. If you asked them, they don't even know why they're angry! | |||

"Any bike recommendations for a beginner??" What kind of cycling are you thinking of? On-road or off-road (mtb). How is your general health and fitness, you could look for a straight handle bar bike with large tyres, (35mm wide). The straight bars will leave you more upright and comfortable. Wide tyres will give a comfortable ride. Also wide tyres are good on canal paths and similar. If you want to cycle distance early and work on fitness later, then an electric bike is worth looking at. Idea if you want to cycle to work. Happy to answer any cycling questions. | |||

I've always ran and gym, but find them difficult to maintain as I bore and prefer sports with groups or teams. Few work colleagues cycle an they've recommend getting the best you can afford. There are so many brands and specs, it's a minefield! | |||

Few work colleagues cycle an they've recommend getting the best you can afford. There are so many brands and specs, it's a minefield! " Then road bike with drop handle bars. You can spend a serious amount on a bike, and it will make very little difference. In terms of equipment, if you are going to take it semi serious and don't want to break the bank. I'd suggest looking for something equipped with Shimano 105, it's their mid level spec and it works really well. Major difference to the higher spec (Ultegra then Dura-Ace [top end]) would be weight. Last years Dura-Ace becomes this years Ultegra etc. You could also look at the Sram equivalent of 105, SRAM's Rival. If you are starting fresh to cycling, then also budget, for the accessories. Can't say enough good things about a good helmet. I've used a helmet a few times and was grateful for it. Padded shorts are a must for any distance as are gloves. Cycling specific tops are a bonus, shirts would have rear pockets for storing food etc. Jackets would have a longer cut at the rear. This gives you coverage / protection when you are leaned over on the bike. | |||
