  • Cyclists are about level pegging with nonce's on people I'd like the police to nick most list. Especially the ones who go out on a Sunday and ride 3 a breast down country lanes. The death penalty needs reintroducing for those reprobates. 
  • It’s not to do with law it’s to do with respect. 
    What about people riding horses do they dismount and let you past. 
    For some people they just hate cyclists for some reason.
    Dave’s already said cyclists should be chucked under buses 

    Afternoon SMTW2GH

    Been too busy today to play unfortunately!

    Get it right ffs, I actually said the ones using the pavement should kicked in front of busses
    All very well to kick pavement cyclists under buses in urban areas where there is likely to be decent bus services, hence plenty of buses. But what should you do in more out of town or rural areas where bus services are limited or non-existent? Perhaps we should include HGV and LGVs in the list of acceptable vehicles cyclists may be thrown under?
    Surprised that runners haven't been mentioned yet as pavement undesirables.
    Runners, imo, top trump cyclists as self entitled cnuts in the hierarchy of selfish pavement users. Go to any Park Run on a Saturday to watch hundreds of the b'stards mowing down young children out riding their small bikes. What gives them the right to take over these public spaces? And without paying towards the upkeep of the park.

  • Plenty of tractors and combines about
  • I think runners are probably acceptable. I say that as a pavement using pedestrian who sometimes has to try to run for a bus.

    Home safely guys much to your dissatisfaction. 
    Can’t believe the double standards it is illegal to ride on pavements adults or children. What are these children doing riding   round park paths. Why have the parents not made them dismount and move to side of path to let the runners past.This is what the future holds because of bad parenting nowadays. Just bringing up future pavement cyclists.
  • Charltons u10s will face Leyton orient this weekend due to big Dave turning up at the training ground and chucking the first team under the team bus for cycling on the pavement. 
    Seth plum carted of the 10 to 18 year olds off to youth detention. 
    He said will there games be played behind closed doors can season ticket holders still get in or will it be shown on Charlton tv. 
    Rick will take over in dug out and said if any of my players break out into a run I will drag them off the pitch.  
    Stu will be in charge in the middle and has said he will not give any free kicks against the Charlton u10s as they are not legally responsible. 
    Blackpool 72 said I will not be attending I have no respect for anyone that has ever road a bike road a bike on a pavement. 
    He then punched himself in the face for lying to himself. 
  • You are a very strange person. 
  • What’s strange is people saying they want to kill some one for riding a bike. 
  • I'd ban cyclists from velodromes if I had my way

    I think you may have just invented a new sport there, just in time for the LA Olympics.

    30 cyclists need to complete 5 laps of the track whilst the competitor stands on platform at one end with a shooter and tries to pick them off. It combines cycling and shooting, so win-win.

    And as there are always so many cycling events and chances to win medals I spose there needs to be different categories - like the small bore pistol event, the musket event, the shotgun event, the Uzi event, etc. 

    Don't worry about where the cyclists will come from, @Gribbo is in charge of rounding them up for us.

    Done a bit of driven boar. 'Driven cyclists' definitely has a ring to it


  • I would suggest that was a rite of passage for any kid growing up in the 50's and 60's. Still got the scars to prove it.

  • Those green bikes seem to be dumped everywhere.

    Goodness knows how the system works.

    I thought each bike would have a satellite tracker, and vans go around the city collecting them to recharge the batteries and repair punctures and maintain brakes and lights. Doesn’t look like it.

    I assume there is yet another convoluted system people have to use in order to ride them, involving appliances on your telephone and membership of pay pal with the attendant nightmare of passwords and so on. 

    I don’t know because convenient though they seem to be, using them looks quite a faff, with yet another way you can get hacked and scammed.

    The best way to get rid of the clutter is for local authorities to collect them in their own vans and then crush them, that might make the companies think harder about their property laying around everywhere and causing obstructions.

    Or take loads of money off the users if they don’t leave the bicycles in an assigned location.
  • You need to download the app. After that, it takes about 10 seconds to unlock a bike.  Agree that they seem to be everywhere now. The City is littered with them and there must be a huge oversupply.

    If you download the appliance is that it?
    You don’t have to pay anything?
  • Application, yes (it's not a washing machine). Has to be linked to a payment card or paypal. You then scan a bike through the app click a box to approve payment and the bike unlocks.

    Think a lot of the dumped bikes are from undesirables using them on the flashing red light (not paying), until the bike locks up and they end up dumped where they are. If you're a genuine paying customer, I think you need to take a photo of the bike in a designated place in order to off hire it.

    So when you join up you give them your credit card details?
    And to use the bike you have to have your mobile telephone with you?

  • How come they can be used without payment?
    Flashing red light? What’s that all about? Does it mean I can simply pick one up and ride it, until something automatic suddenly applies the brakes?
    How does the electric motor get charged up, is it through some kind of remote system through satellites?
  • When you see someone ride past you and its clicking and beeping, it means it's not been paid for.
  • This is becoming surreal.
    If a person picks up a green bike, rides it with clicking and bleeping, they can continue as long as they want.
    The clicking and bleeping acting as an audible signal to others, like the sounds made by reversing rubbish trucks.

    I thought they'd managed to stop that? Certainly don't hear that loud clicking that you used to a year or so ago.
