I would think any road user would have a legitimate and legal right to complain if  a reckless driver were to mow them down.  Regardless of your point of view on this subject absurd throw away comments such as these do little for the discussion. Can't we just share the road?

Reckless throwaway comments ???? Don't understand ??

I was referring to visibility.......do you wear an orange helmet and orange vest ?? If not, why not ??

 but don't complain about reckless drivers mowing you down,


This one.

1. I don't ride on the road. The ACT is blessed with brilliant bike tracks and more importantly for me, MTB trails.

2. Orange isn't my colour.

3. And lastly, if, as you have indicated the driver was being "reckless"  colour of the riders clothing would be far less relevent.

I'm not a road cyclist but I do respect those that do. I don't drive with a hat on either but each to their own. Respect, consideration for other road users and above all tolerance is whats required here. ANY road fatality is a disarster for someones family.

In the event of a fatal collision the reckless road user  usually goes to goal.

Ahhh. Gronk....sigh.

Why don't you drive a high vis car? Would make much easier for trucks and buses to see you?

I will say I also get baffled by the dark riders (commonly referred to as 'Ninja's) but I am not one of them as I have two rear lights, one front and wear bright coloured clothes so why do you feel the need to lump every one in a group? Kinda feels like a food chain/bully technique to me.

The main point I was making is that cyclists (you know, the mums, dads, brothers, grannies and kids who happen to ride bikes) should be the LEAST of your concerns when on the road...you might be delayed ever so slightly by a bike but you CAN be killed by poor driver or your own stupidity. Perhaps you should worry about not breaking any road rules before you comment on the methods of others...often when they are just minding their own business.

But on the off chance that that you have always indicated at every roundabout,  never exceeded the speed limit by even a kilometre, never picked up your phone whilst at the wheel, never sat in the right hand lane when others wanted to pass and always behaved in a couteous manner I apologise for lumping you with all of the people who should have to sit mandatory drivers licence checks every year.

Aahh sigh.......you pushy riders get all upset over sensible discussions about the danger of being a pushy rider on the road......BTW, I do drive a high vis 4wd !!

Do you wear high vis clothing AND a helmet ?? Post up a pic !!

You all don't get it ( and probably never will )......ride amongst motor cars and you'll never win a battle, no matter who was at fault !!

Soooooooo?

Pedestrians are in the wrong for daring to walk where cyclists want to ride?
But bikes have the right to ride where they like, road or footpath.

Women power walking with prams are in the wrong for holding up faster bikes?
But bikes are in the right if they hold up vehicular traffic.

Cars are at fault because they are impatient?
But bike riders dont consider it impatient to refuse to wait at red lights, or for pedestrians or women with prams.

Lycra is acceptable attire while riding a bike?
But shorts and a "T" is laughed at by the Lycra brigade.

It seems to me that all the arguments seem to favor the Lycra clad loonies.


My grandaughter was cleaned up by a bike rider several years ago.
She was caught up in the frame and chain of the rider that decided he was too privileged to stop at the lolly pop stop sign and therefore went footpath at speed.
My grandaughter was standing next to my wife, holding her hand on the footpath when she was caught by the passing bike.

The A Hole didnt even stay around to see if she was OK, he just disengaged her and rode off.

This is one of the many reasons I have a dislike for Lycra clad A Holes.

PS
The Grandaughter was fixed up at the hospital, and my wife suffered nightmares for months.
The bike rider, just kept peddling around and perhaps one day I home he takes on a truck.
