I forgot how much they irked me,
I ride a motorbike and sometimes ride on the inside and occasionally in the middle, but I'm always 3 times as fast as the nearest car. Have car drivers ever got out of the car and stood in the middle of a traffic snarl. It's toxic and should be avoided at all costs, hence the motorbike riders need to get throuigh / around other vehicles.
Idiots who think that just because they have a car, cyclists should get out of their way. I've seen lots of traffic jams caused by cars, but none caused by cyclists.
I have been a cyclist, motorbike and heavy vehicle.Quote:

As to traffic jams.... travel the Old Pacific Hwy, Geat Western Hwy, Princess Hwy when cyclists believe its their right to ride on any Sunday with no regard to how much road they use, speed limits indicated.
Is it Allex that your in the squad of riders not behind stuck in a car that you don't see the traffic jam.:U
I'm sure anyone living in Melbourne's Eastern Bayside suburbs has had to put up with this:
Attachment 144323 Attachment 144324 Attachment 144325 Attachment 144326
It's not just on weekends either, but during the week in peak period.
My wife travels from Bayside Melbourne to the City every day and on inclement days (when there are few to zero cyclists on the road), her travel time is virtually halved.
Cyclists should be taxed in line with other road users. Laws governing their use should also be regulated and vehemently enforced.
I won't stand aside on a footpath to let a cyclist by and on more than one occasion I have been berated for doing so and one rider repeatedly rammed the back of my legs with his wheel because I refused to heed his frantic bell-ringing. He later managed to salvage what was left of his mangled bicycle off the road.
I like that. The WW hoon law.Quote:

Police in Vic have been targeting cyclists running red lights and it is showing results, I have actually seen cyclists stop at a red light:o
ps to WW. Did you jump on it or just toss it into the traffic?
