They can be a total pain in the ass sometimes especially when they're riding 4 wide down a single lane road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When crunch comes to crunch they're always gonna come off second best against a car even if they are within there rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chikt Drift Queen Member 802 Member For: 16y 4m 6d Gender: Female Location: Perth Posted 08/05/08 10:25 AM Share Posted 08/05/08 10:25 AM I am a bike rider and I hate riding on roads let alone busy ones, you learn very quickly that 4WD's busses and trucks are not your friend cos they pretty much blow you off the road and cars arnt much better if they are going faster than 60. I ride down the coast road (WA, mullaloo to trigg) a lot but only when it isnt peak hr traffic as I know the feeling of being stuck behind some halfwit riding in the middle of the lane. They have bike tracks for us but the people (walker) dont listen when you ring your bell and you contantly have to shout at people. I cant get my head around people that go for a ride in peak hour traffic and if their riding home from work use the path because not many people are walking at that time of day. What im trying to say is im a bike rider but I use common sense unlike most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
