As title,
Found myself some how watching bike road rage type videos on YouTube for two hours  I get the impression that once these lot get a camera strapped on their heads people can't breathe within 200meters without these cunts smashing windows and kicking doors in knocking mirrors off etc.
I'd honestly say 99% of them are caused by some prick on a bike itching for some tinterweb fame.
Worlds gone mad.

I think it's quite dangerous when cyclists think they are entitled to use the road as much as a car (although this may be legally true). This gives them too much courage in a situation which could easily turn fatal.
An old area manager of mine was killed whilst cycling to work, as was another fella in Lisburn, where I am from, in recent weeks.
I enjoy cycling, but avoid busy roads at all cost! Even if it may be wrong to do, I'd much rather cycle on an empty pavement.
Cars rule the road, and no cyclist should think otherwise.

You have to give the 300feet when you go past them but they will happily squeeze through a gap of 2 foot when it suits them!

The motorcycle ones are even more aggressive! I mean who the fuck carries an extendable baton day to day. Just in case you need to smash someones car to bits for pulling out half a mile ahead.

More like 2 inches here. A guy once hit my wing mirror. Utter prick.
They then sit infront of you at the lights and then hold everyone up when they go green. Cunts. Eradicate them.

I see lots of motorcyclists using them. Like most things- there's good and bad ones. Majority I see are fine, and I understand why they want them.
Cyclists fuck me off.
If they're going slow enough for a bus to constantly be over taking them, pulling in to bus stops then still catching and over taking - they shouldn't be in the road.
Takes so much Fkin planning to get past them on some roads, when they could easily pull over for a second or move a bit

It isn't a law for them to use cycle lane

It should be. It's not the law for pedestrians to use the footpath either but you don't see people walking on the road when there's a footpath otherwise you'd think they were bellends.

I know, but its fucking annoying and inconsiderate, holding everyone up when they could make everyones lives and their own safer by using the designated paths

It's like if I chose to drive down a main road at 25mph and not pulling over for anyone.
Nothing to say I can't legally do it. But fucking annoying to everyone else

You'd probably end up getting stopped and beaten to fuckery though.

To add to this, wankers in tractors that seems to think rush hour is a convenient time to go place to place along main roads with limited overtaking spots with a tailback of traffic behind them with no intention of pulling over every now and again to let some stuff past.
Most of them do pull over say every mile to let the traffic past, but had one yesterday that had no intention of doing it and everyone was stuck behind for ages, horned him in an angry manner when I did eventually get passed. He must have been scared

Strangers that are effecting my day to day life - yeah...
Well done on almost successfully tracking me down, and using what I said a few days ago, to try and score Internet points
What a lonely person

cyclists are just trying to get through life economically, no need to get angry at strangers.
Sorry I've made you even more angry over the Internet. It's sad seeing a fellow human being angry over a bunch of letters.

I'm not angry at all, in fact I just showed my colleague it as we're on lunch break. We had a good laugh at you trying so hard. Back to work in 10, enjoy your day
