No need to wish that on him. If he rides like that often enough, the inevitable will happen. At
least when cyclists ride like idiots, the chances of them killing someone else is very slim, unless
they collect a pedestrian, or cause a vehicle to swerve.

At a recent defensive driver course I was at, the instructor was telling us about the centre of
gravity of vehicles (should be common knowledge really, but apparently not). He brought up one
particular case where at the round about at Anzac parade, a cyclist decided to make a right turn
from the left lane, without looking. The cyclist had a refrigerated meat truck behind him that was
going straight ahead. The cyclist without warning or signaling, turned in front of the truck. The
truck driver in an attempt to avoid the cyclist, swerved, then swerved in the other direction, and
rolled the truck. The cyclist was not hit, and did not stop.

I'm not having a go at all cyclists, that was just one example of bad riding. I have seen more
dangerous drivers than dangerous cyclists. However one has to wonder why on earth those few cyclists
are prepared to risk their lives in traffic by riding unpredictably. Like the rider who was riding
*on the wrong side of the road* on Marcus Clarke Street in the city the other day, in peak hour. I
very nearly cleaned him up, as I didn't see him to the last moment due to the vehicle in front of me
blocking my view. That vehicle also swerved at the last minute.

If the cyclist referred to in the original post, continues to ride like that, natural selection will
take it's course eventually.

Well then it might have been better to say "The bastard COULD..." or "The bastard MIGHT have..."
rather than saying "The bastard SHOULD..."

Oh, sorry. Since everyone saw you post here, I should have said "conspiracy to murder".

> Or are you saying that all incidents between bikes are cars are attempted murder?

Pissweak evasion. Why didn't you knock the cyclist down and run him/her over, like you said "should
have been"? Is it because you're a gutless foul-mouthed prick raised on a diet of American
television violence?

Very true - we wouldnt wish that on them. We all know there are idiots out there no matter whether
they ride, walk, drive, etc etc. That was not in dispute. Hopefully he will be caught one day and
learn a lesson. But to say that someone should have been run down is a little over the top.

Yes, and I've heard that Canberra drivers tend to have the same attitude as '1210' to anyone, expert
or idiot, who chooses todo something as irresponsible as cycle on the road. Maybe this is the source
of his aggro.

Like I said, pissweak evasion. Why didn't *you* knock the cyclist down and run him/her over, like
you wanted someone else to do?

As if I cared. George Bush is setting the world aflame, John Winston Stalin is running around with a
box of matches, and you want someone to assault a bicyclist. <plonk>

It's OK Alan, I know who it is. Judging from his argumentative powers (quote: "Boring - Boring -
