I still have the wing mirror in my shed of the last f***head that spoke to me like that.

All my coworkers ask me how I'm able to afford to get a house, etc, while they are struggling. Answer: Don't waste money on a car. They're a lot more expensive than just gas... IRS estimates $.50 a mile in the US. If you figure that for every trip, it adds up quick. Save a ton of money by riding a bike or taking transit. Healthier, too.

@stevealston185 i dont think you do, anyone who uses the word fuckhead and blanks out the work fuck is clearly a goon

"He can tell me what to do - he's a police officer and you're not".

He's right, you know.

@patmaherjfm I believe that most cyclists are also drivers - so many people wrongly assume most cyclists don't own cars and can't drive. An example that might surprise you is that 6 out of 10 Boris bikers in London earn more than £50,000pa.

Whilst cyclists can use the road without training or insurance, that's because they don't injure/kill people or cause property damage to anything like the degree that drivers do. What about all those uninsured drivers that do the same?

No worries, With that blood pressure he wont be around much longer to run his van over anyone :~)

@patmaherjfm Your right,many cyclists don't have any type of training, & some are short sighted & even drunk. Despite this they kill about one pedestrian in the UK every 15 years or so. You on the other hand are in charge of a potentially lethal vehicle that killed 2538 people in 2008 alone. To me that shows that restrictions on motorists don't go nearly far enough, & cycling is safer than shaving.

There are more uninsured motorists on the road than there are cyclists altogether. Lets sort that.

from what everyone is saying, it appears that PEOPLE are the cause of all the world's problems. sorry, from now on nobody is allowed to breed. except me, obviously.

[mrspivvy]

@patmaherjfm A fair point. I drive HGVs and that particular section of road users is certainly not immune from those of an impatient aggressive nature, although I've got to say you do develop a whole different outlook to driving in a truck.
