I expect more

[jeltz]

I expect better road behaviour from my fellow cyclists, than other road users.

Today while driving had a cyclist pull out from a T junction into my path, I had sufficient room to avoid hitting him but only by breaking hard. There was on coming traffic so I couldn't just pull round, but nothing behind me so had he waited, as he should have, it would have delayed him by seconds.

OK well stuff like that happens and it could easily have been a car, milk float, tractor, etc. If it had been I'd have been mildly annoyed but with it being a cyclist I actually felt more disappointed than annoyed!

I trust you informed him of your displeasure . . . and of the standards expected !

Well as I passed I gave him the kind of withering look I reserve for drivers that treat my badly on the bike but alas he just looked back at me with a couldn't give a sh monkeys look back.

my usual loathing is people chopping between the filter lanes between stopped traffic without being arsed to check for someone else already in that lane

There are inconsiderate drivers and inconsiderate cyclists, it doesn't make it right but it's something we have to live with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
