Idiot bike rider.

Seen without a helmet weaving amongst the traffic on City Hill. Not
bothering to use a newly opened bike lane.

The [censored] should have been knocked down and run over.

What's an idiot bike? Is it some new Huffy model?

As stupid as somone might be, you should not really wish that sort of end to
them. There are stupid people everywhere not just on bikes. We cannot go
and try to murder them all. If that was made law then stupidity and idiocy
can be quite subjective. Someone might think your comments are stupid for
instance. You could be putting yourself in peril.

I am not the one who needs to be cleansed from the gene pool.

Lets see Pedal Power come out and chastise stupid bike riders and hold an
education campaign about the correct way to use these mutli million bike
lanes. They never will off course.

Seen a kid on the western side of Darling Harbour (sydney) looked about
10-12yo. No helmet and waving around all over the place. Had trouble getting
his feet onto the pedals and pedaling properly. He seriously looked like he
was drunk.

For those who are interested, he WAS using the bike lane though. All of it.
Along with some of the grass and shrubs on either side. Fell over twice in
the time it took us to walk past him. (couldn't have been more than 15-20 metres).

Can't blame the kid though, I mean, everyone has to learn somewhere, sometime.
However, where were the idiot parents? And more importantly, who let them have
kids?

Greetings,
I hope you remember the comment below when some moron of
equal stupidity cleans you up, whether on your bike or in your 1.5 tonne
steel womb. At least the silly cyclist can at the worst make a complete
mess of himself, whereas with a mass of metal behind you, you have a
much more efficient killing machine. Ask anyone who's been cleaned up by
a motorised jerk, as I was last year
Regards,
Ray.

hmm. Who pays for those don't speed and don't drive fatigued education
campaigns? I didn't think the motoring clubs did?

I see people speeding all the time when I am driving my car. Also changing
lanes without indicating. Chopping and changing lanes in traffic (weaving).
Maybe we need to hire road rollers or something to crush their car while
they are driving them. I mean it follows the same logic as you have to
purposely running someone down in a much larger heavier vehicle. Then
again we should all try and mow someone down that crosses the road when they
have a don't walk symbol. People do stupid things all the time. We should
however not condone violence against them.

I agree with you that I think that there should be a vast amount of
education into safe cycling but to be equitable this should be run by the
same government bodies that run other road safety campaigns.

Tell me one thing, is this cycleway you speak of a considerate transport
cycleway or is it built purely for weekend tourists having a nice coast
around the waterfront.

The poor kid. At least my father had the decency to teach me how to ride a
bike.

well if its a highspeed cycle lane then the guy is an idiot but nonetheless
should not be run over on purpose. I have actually heard Canberra is one of
the best places for cycling and the advantages are obvious. Education is
probably not going to help someone like that.

My my...we are a passionate little group here, aren't we?

I absolutely love seeing someone get the [censored] taken without even
realising it....

Why didn't you do it then? Leave the job for someone else as usual. Is it
because that is normally called "attempted murder"?

It aint if it not done on purpose. Or are you saying that all incidents
between bikes are cars are attempted murder?

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 [censored] COULD..." or "The
[censored] MIGHT have..." rather than saying "The [censored] SHOULD..."

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.
