TIDY
They all have bells in Amsterdam luckily, I would have come back with some serious injuries if they hadn't.
You've just reminded me of one I missed.... "never their fault"
Good luck on your ride and fundraising
Your group are fabulous with there charitable work , however we are talking about others not abiding by road rules , as its about everyone's safety, its not about Lycra its about attitude and lack of care .
When your travelling slow via bus lanes, roundabout, junctions and traffic lights or elderly ,children and wheelchair/push chair users using safe pavement, we should not have to worry , jump out, or swerve and brake ,remembering the fact we may be carrying children or the elderly.
My wife and I and our grandchild were walking home last night with a pram and were nearly hit last night on a pavement in North Cardiff , around pm ,just by the village barbers ,we had no chance, as we were coming around a corner and had no sight of the loon , had moment on his cycle,, he now knows the road rules and my views , he wasn't a child or a yob , he was a middle aged business type ,30 something man. ??
Suddenly breaking and swerve to avoid a cyclist ,or having to step off a pavement because folk not abiding by road /street rules ,is unacceptable , there are good and bad in all life , cyclist or car ,however I am noticing a rise in cyclist with bad almost two fingers in air attitudes ,worse of those are wound up people going to and from work driving in anger or running late,whilst the roads are equally busy .
Is wonderful you and your group are raising money for such a a just cause not many car users do the same , hopefully you can understand others views, and share our views with your fellow cyclists, to avoid tragedies /anger on both sides
yes i was hit, bell and all , its not cyclists v cars , sometimes its cyclist speeding v pedestrians , ringing a bell means you have to jump out o of the way or else , they never seem to stop ,its bit one sided I think,to PC to take on because of congestion worries .They all have bells in Amsterdam luckily, I would have come back with some serious injuries if they hadn't.
I think bike fines as you have with car fines is needed urgently , as its sounds the leader of the Cardiff councils solution to the next fives years peoples growth , is cycles and walking ,power to the infirm .
I think they should put Nato style fences all around North Cardiff and also get the bomb squads to shut all roads while they check the drains as well. I reckon they should put them big yellow metal things they had to get into town on all the main roads as well.
Also no one without a valid cycle number on their shirt should be allowed into any of the pubs with in a mile of the route as well.
You are singling out a few idiots , I cycle with a group of Jacks on a Sunday ,they are absolutely respectful of other cyclists ,pedestrians and cars on the road . Believe it or not there is a code when cycling in a group and it is to show respect to others on the road/ cycle paths .Your group are fabulous with there charitable work , however we are talking about others not abiding by road rules , as its about everyone's safety, its not about Lycra its about attitude and lack of care .

I am fairly sure it is illegal to cycle on the pavement ? Take a photo and pass on to the relevant authorities .
There are a few on here who are really down on cyclists , what better way for an old geezer like myself to keep fit and enjoy the outdoors?
The wankers who don't give cyclists a decent amount of space on the road will do a lot more damage than some knob who doesn't have a bell .
I look quite fetching in my Lycra .....
I was with you all the way up until this claim...
But if you'd just come out of a "coffee" shop, would you have cared?They all have bells in Amsterdam luckily, I would have come back with some serious injuries if they hadn't.
I didn't get hit but I kept on walking out in front of them all the time, mind you, we had so many brownies I probably wouldn't have felt it if I did get hit.
Nobody cares.
Only you .
Thanks Hun .
