Doubling Up On Road

[freecyclist]

So you're arguing from a position of total ignorance then?

Still not answering the question I see.

I claim to be a keen cyclist arguing from a position of total ignorance as much as you claim to be a practising homosexual invloved in a secret liason with an undisclosed member of the england world cup rugby team.

The militant ones are certainly more likely to pick up the bone then continue shaking it terrier like

Wow, great addition to the thread. Do us all a favour and ditch the casual homophobia.

Are you going to answer the question?

I thought we were on about out of town roads. But thats a good point, in town we pass with inches to spare sometimes, yet a car passes within feet and they are dangerous drivers?

Sorry that doesn't hold for me I never filter and even if I did the difference between me going past a car at 4 mph is a lot different from a car passing me at 30

Not why, in what way?

The driver of a vehicle comes up behind you approaching a pinch point 5 times and you back off to let him go first. The next time it is me (say) and I don't know that you have taught him cyclists back off at pinpoint not does he know that I don't.

Its not a diservice to anyone, its keeping myself safe, and keeping good cyclist car relations.

Is this another way if saying 'yes, I am a troll"?

To be 100% honest adrian no i didnt mean it that way but looking back i can see why someone one the other side of the fence might take it that way.
If theres any sense of honour on this forum please accept that trolloing does not even enter ther equation.
OK ?

I am. There are plenty of cycling courses which will train you in exactly that.

Whats this legal qualification called? And when did the government pass this to give cyclists police powers of traffic regulation?

I take a look and signal that i am moving across the lane.

I see cyclists making two big errors:

1 Sticking to the left in the pinch point "inviting an overtake"

2 Moving to primary with no signal

Well if Freecyclist is a troll he's done a very good job of setting us against each other. This thread seems to have got extremely tetchy amongst folks that normally seem to get on quite well and civilly .
