@ilikemunting There is alot of idiots on the road!!!! Just some car drivers don't seem to realise, that bikes, both pedal and engined vareity require alot more skill to ride. Driving a car is not difficult, its basic common sense and observation skills.

One thing that really irritates me, is tailgaters, tail gating motorbikes, why? The end of the day, a motorbike is lighter and can stop quicker than any car.

@bwfc4eva86 i did not say every cyclist was bad, i was just saying that cars are not the only problem on the road, all typres of transport are to blame,

@ilikemunting So thats every Cyclist in Greater Manchester then is it? If thats the case, i could say that every car driver in the county is aggressive, has no lane discipline, does no look before pulling out of a junction etc etc. But not every car driver does that, alot like every Cyclist doesn't disobey the rules of the highway code.

I have a Car, motorbike and i'm a cyclist both on road and off road.

@ilikemunting yea, they all go through red lights, all ride on the pavements, and they all don't indicate, oh and motorists, they all go through red lights too, ride on pavements (seriously!) dont indicate when throwing around 1000kg+ of car etc.

Everyone is a terrible driver/rider... blame us all!

o.k motorists are bad around Manchester. i wont defend them because I'm sometimes an aggressive driver. but cyclists are really bad, they go though red lights,ride on the pavement when there's heavy traffic, and allot of them don't indicate when turning. i see this everyday when going to work in Manchester. (i go from Hyde to china town)
