Cyclists shouldn't ride up the inside lane at traffic lights. All they do is then stop / slow the left lane from taking off as the cyclists is much slower than a car.
Selfish cyclists (all of them) want to get to the front of the queue, rather than being considerate and hanging back to allow cars to take off first.

Yes and no. Depends on the intersection. It’s not selfish to take off at the green lights in fact it’s safer: no fumes and it’s only a couple of seconds . I ride and I drive, have no issue with waiting for cyclists to go first as it takes seconds. At the same time cars run red lights a lot and think that amber is a green light. Having said that I don’t have any time for cyclists who ride without lights at night, who don’t stop at red lights and ride 3 abreast (unless it’s in a lane where there’s no cycle lane.What'sinaname wrote:Cyclists shouldn't ride up the inside lane at traffic lights.

Get used to it as there’s gunna be more cyclists not less.
What I don’t understand is how one minute you gave a so called bike lane then just before an intersection it’s disappeared.

Not all cyclists are selfish, but there is a large percentage of self entitled twats who think it is their right to be on/in the road and car drivers should defer to them.
Grow some courtesy and brains and GTF out of the way.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

No slight on Greta, who shouldn't have to put up with these neanderthals, but does anyone else think that it's high time the use of "small dick" as an insult was put out to pasture? It's odd that most other forms of body-shaming are steadily becoming taboo in mainstream society but that one is still seen as a hilarious comeback.
