The Phantom Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 1 hour ago, emesde said: You're absolutely right. Nobody minds bikes being ridden safely there. There is a bye law that limits the speed limits for bikes to 10 mph. A few signs to that effect might help. What about if you're running over 10 mph?

These are the same selfish twunts that cycle two abreast in the middle of the road holding traffic up rather than move over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it's better that way according to a policeman I saw on Twitter 😁 Cyclists don't fuss me to be honest. They get a lot of irrational hatred. Used to do some riding on the roads on a bike and had one or two frightening moments. I wasn't a lycra wearer though. My old grandad used to call them perverts. 'Look at these perverts in their gimp suits' was his line 🤣....we used to time how long it would take for him to say it when one passed. That said I don't drive much these days either.

Jog 6-8mph (11-13 kph) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emesde Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I don't think they had reckoned on someone running at 35 mph with a cycle over their shoulder. Not illegal but still bloody stupid. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think they have the same person and I'm not in either. I wish I was that young. I have looked at the first picture more closely and his lycra is so tight I can see 2 loopholes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the byelaw does not cover running with a bike. However, it was just a joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you widen the gap between tracks and use the same trams then it follows that there is less room to pass. Unless they moved the pavements back.
