People who spend half the fucking day in the squat rack talking.

A lad and his gf spent so long in there the other day that I did my whole routine and some extra waiting for them.

And they'd removed the sodding safety bars anyway and we're only doing about 40 kg (just pick the fucking bar up if your doing that) what's the point in using the rack of your going to negate the main reason for using it.

Also I still don't understand why I'm not allowed to physically beat someone who uses the rack to do curls.

It should be legal and done in the town square with their family made to watch.

oh I love putting glittery thingies in cards... cause I know they will spill them everywhere, mutter FFS!!! then have to clean them up. Its a more bonding experience than just opening a card then sticking it on the nearest pile of DVD's

As a 'proper cylist' (two seasons ago I was competing in cycle racing) and a triathlete before that (including Ironman Switzerland in 2012), do you really think that I and other serious cyclists should not have equal road rights?

Furthermore, I'm not suggesting that I'm in anything like the same league, but would you expect Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome or the Brownlee brothers to be up on the cycle path when they are out on training rides.

This country has made massive strides in the sports of cycling and triathlon over recent years (including two Tour de France wins...the first ever in British history and Olympic gold medals in both time trialing and triathlon). How the hell to people expect budding talent to flourish in the sport if drivers won't even accept their rights to train on the road??

"Sis I mention equal road rights?

BUT when there's a path specifically built for your ease and SAFETY and you choose not to use it then don't moan if another road user beeps their horn at you."

There is nothing wrong with a car giving a gentle beep to let you know he is approaching (although you do generally hear them anyway). Its the ones that honk there horns and often as not also gesture at us to say 'get the fuck of the road and onto the path' that really piss me off.

Do drivers not realize that cycle paths, whilst practical (and a great addition) for slow social riders and families out on bikes together, are totally impractical for serious cyclists out training on road bikes.

Not only are cycle path surfaces often hopelessly inadequate, but also, cyclists on them are obliged to stop every time the path has a junction with or is crossed by a road.

Finally, cycle paths are also used by pedestrians and walkers. To have serious cyclists, often travelling at speeds well in excess of 20mph on the same paths is a fraught with danger.

Sorry for the rant.

"Serious cyclists" are also the ones that recently have caused numerous accidents due to high speed.

They are the ones that ride 2/3/4 abreast across the road makin it massively dangerous to pass.

They are the ones who have been seen and videoed covering cars with energy drinks because they didn't like the driver making them aware of something.

They are the ones who have caused residents and driver in the Surrey Hills to petition Parliment and the Council to stop the extreme number of races, events, sportives, etc going on every weekend to the detriment of everyone else trying to enjoy the countryside and roads.

I ride road and MTB but make a point of making damn sure I'm 100% on the road because as a car driver and motorcyclist too I've given up counting the number of times I've nearly taken out a cyclist because of their actions and inattention.

If you're on the road - you follow the same rules as everyone else - if you don't then you take the consequences as everyone else does.

Except as a cyclist you don't.

That is why you will get car drivers sounding their horn, etc because "serious cyclists" are just about the worst offenders there are.

The vast majority of them are also car owners, so yes they do.

I agree with all the points you make regarding the need for cyclist to ride responsibly and to also abide by the laws of the road.

I too am not only a regular cyclist but also a motorist and (in the past) a keen motorcyclist.

If used correctly our roads should be able to accommodate all users.

It's about time the rules applied to everyone using the road.

Moving violation regardless of "mode of transport" should carry the same penalty.

Until then you will always get problems.

Look at Oz - cycle paths everywhere, go where you want freely, etc.

However - ride on the road and you WILL wear a helmet. Don't and it's a fine and points on your license.

Run a red - fine and points.

Off the path into the road - fine and points.

Exactly the same as any other road user.

I wouldn't argue with that.

Paranoid... They are merely alerting you of their presence as a matter of courtesy, in the interest of your safety.

Point Nemo, Cumbria

Worst road related injury I've ever had was when I was hit by a cyclist whilst walking along a pavement. My right wrist was broken, with a metacarpal jutting out through the skin causing quite a bit of bleeding. The cyclist just got back on his bike and fucked off as if nothing had happened - no apology or interest in how I was.

I've a fair amount of past experience as a competitive cyclist, as well as a motorcycle instructor and road safety instructor and I can tell you that the guy had no business cycling on the pavement.

I see, every day, rules of both road and common sense being flouted by cyclists who appear to think they have certain rights the rest of us don't have... to cycle on pavements, or in the road when there's a clearly marked cycle path available (in the eyes of the law, it's a just bicycle - not a 'road' bicycle - if you doubt me, then go for a ride on the motorway and see what happens), to ravel along a road in a way that causes a deliberate and unnecessary obstruction to other road users (eg. two or three abreast), to run red lights at junctions, to use pedestrian crossing to traverse the flow of traffic without dismounting, etc.

Now don't get me wrong - I see plenty of shit car and wagon drivers too... and motorbikers for that matter - but that doesn't dilute the need for a disproportionately large number of cyclists to drop their 'holier than thou' or 'feel sorry for me coz I'm a victim' attitude and take a little more responsibility for their own actions and safety... and I say this as a cyclist!

You didn't see this bit later on in the discussion..

Table hoggers at cafés. You get your stuff and there's no free table to eat at, as some are plonked there, waiting for someone to turn up, the Mrs to finish shopping etc, before even queuing to get their stuff.

People who dawdle in Supermarkets,train stations and just get in the bloody way! If you can't hurry up, don't visit the place!

People who wait for the bus then board it, only to then hunt for their purse or wallet and once they do find it, either finding any coins and thus hold up the bus! Get your money ready!

People who ask the most stupid questions, like yesterday... someone in front of me at a ticket window at a station at 10am, was asking the clerk "what trains will be running on Tuesday?" (at that time the rail strike was still ON). WTF! How could the ckerk predict 4-5 days in advance? If the person only put their brain in gear before speaking?!!!!

Plus, at this time of year, the over hyping of that yawnfest, that is, the Eurovision Song Contest! I suppose it appeals to someone, but why is there wall to wall hype??
