This is your thread; you are unhappy with the current situation, so what do you think could work? |

We cannot or rather will not regress to non-motor transport methods particularly in rural areas where it's mile to the local supermarket. Therefore, I don't think that anything other than what we have now will work better than it does now. Please remember that I started this thread as a complaint against die-hard cyclists clogging the roads (in my area) with some glee to the annoyance of car drivers going about their daily business. My purpose in the thread was not to address commuting although discussion has morphed to some extent. |
Re: Return of the cyclist scourge
Doesn't really matter what method of transport you are controlling roads are shared space and you need to be mindful to conditions and other road users. Just as motorists should give space to cyclists, allow for wobble or moving away from "obstructions" that would less affect cars and so on, cyclists need to allow for cars trying to get past and so on.
It should also be noted that roads are not race tracks. This applies to cyclists as well as motorists. |

But with all the brain power exhibited here, seldom are solutions to problems suggested; usually, there’s a kind of one-upmanship posting which just goes around in circles and cycling is regularly, ahem, re-cycled. If anyone says that’s what forums are all about, to me it’s just bickering for the sake of it. |

Difference between a debate and an argument - debate is usually about what’s right, argument is usually about who’s right.
Debates are usually about exchanges of information, hoping that this information may enlighten/sway others’ viewpoints - arguments are usually just trying to shout someone down. |

Btw, not referring to this thread or any particular contributor but attitudes in general seem aggressively adversarial for the sake of it. It’s as if a debate is going nowhere before it starts because you can see its shape as the sides line up. |

... and just on a positive note, I really like to see the family out on their bikes.
