Sir Kier Does A U-Turn

[youngmafbog]

Well he wont be able to say that to Boris anymore will he!

Seems his u-turn was straight into a cyclist who unfortunately got injured in the prang.

Had a feeling somebody would jump on the fact that a cyclist killed a pedestrian recently.
Yes, idiotic and stupid in equal measure, however.....

How rare an event was it?
Extremely wouldn’t even do it justice.....more like one in a million.

One thing for sure, if there were more cyclists and less motorists on the road there’d be a lot less deaths and the population would be healthier.

Try and look at the big picture instead of the usual blinkered approach.

I too have had many ‘eff offs when remonstrating with drivers about their manner of driving in close proximity to me, but then a near-death experience does tend to irk me.....cyclists don’t put motorists in the same position, EVER!

Ever heard of a drunk cyclist killing a motorist or pedestrian mush? Ever heard of a cyclist dragging a motorist under their wheels and killing them?

chill you may be a legal cyclist, most are not, it's rare to see one not on the pavement round here, let alone obeying traffic lights.

The student in the 3rd paragraph died when the pavement ran out and she rode straight out in front of a bus.

I knew a bloke who used to sports bike....you know bum up head down. He rode full tilt into the back of a parked car in broad daylight....and he wasn't that bright before.

....and there you have it.
I wonder why some cyclists ride on the pavement? Probably as a result of the war people drive I would guess!

Oh dear, you might want to pop along to Maccy D’s, they’ve got plenty of straws in there for you to clutch at!

Still think the funniest thing on a bike, was when Boris used to ride one wearing that stupid looking helmet, which made him look more stupid than what he really is

I suppose this means 'Steer Calmer' will vanish from these boards.

In the Castleton area of Rochdale, the council has wasted millions of pounds installing a cycle lane that some cyclists say is too slippy, and is rarely used. It has also resulted in a number of shops having to close due to lack of trade since the lanes were installed. The work isn't quite finished yet but it doesn't look as "idyllic" as this photo shows, far from it. In my opinion, this is a complete waste and mis-use of public money, for which someone should be accountable. If it had happened in Russia, they'd be dragged through the streets by the Bolsheviks. But hey, a cyclist can ride through - on the pavement, which they do, as the lanes are too slippy.
