the lion is an inherently aggressive animal and more than willing to kill the relatively defenceless, smaller animal if it gets in his way.hang on a sec.

So knowing this, the smaller, defenseless animal will stay well out of the path of the inherently aggressive, larger animal. Where are you going with this!

it's a stupid analogy. A car or truck driver isn't a top predator acting on instinct with no free will. He should choose to drive carefully and courteously and accept that all road users are equal despite the size and speed differences

Probably that some humans aren't as clever as budgies.

It was simply a continuation of the existing analogy. And in a perfect world, on perfect roads, in perfect conditions, yes all road users are equal. However, in the real worl, this is simply not the case. More care needs to be taken on BOTH sides of the fence, on the motorists case, to give cyclists room, and vice versa. However, cyclists need to make smarter decisions as to where they ride, as they will ALWAYS come off second best ,whoever is at fault. Rightly or wrongly, that's just the way that it is.

Cycles should have compulsory reflectors on the pedals and front and rear lights. I have come across many cyclist driving at dusk, with dark clothing and no lights. Some cyclist sure are stupid !

What's wrong with off-road cycling!

Nothing wrong with it, but many prefer faster road cycling, and also using bicycles as transport.

Yes they are. As are many motorists. I think many people are just stupid in general.

Im not prepared to risk my safety crossing the centre line in my vehicle into oncoming traffic just to avoid some dimwitted cyclist driving down the middle of my lane listening to some jigg a boo music on his/her ipod. So be warned u get no space from me, what do all those signs say ! share the road. well that works both ways , ignorant pricks on bikes

Man there are some dumb Bogans in here! Maybe if they weren't so fat they could get out of their cars (POS) and ride a bike once and a while.

your lane! Drive to the conditions, including space and visibility. Be aware of other road users and potential hazards but mostly, stop being such an egocentric prick

Cyclists don't ride at 140kmph+ weaving in and out of traffic down the motorway.

Im pretty sure they are only allowed 2 a breast when its safe to do so, if at any stage its not safe or they are holding up traffic they must go to single file. Iv had my own close call with 2 lycra wan#ers side by side 100kph area mid corner with a car coming the other way, the guy closest to me was lucky as i was going to take him out before i would cross the centre line.[/quote]
My husband had a very close call wih a mob of lycra idiots recently when he was travelling to work just after 6am.they shot straight through a stop sign around a corner.going way too fast for the manouvre and of course spewed out onto the road. none had lights and they were dressed in dark colours. they always seem to wear dark coloured lycra.(more slimming perhaps!) To this day he doesn't know how he managed to avoid them. He stopped further up the road to tell them how close they got to being on his bonnett and causing a major accident. All he go was mouthful of abuse. He rang the cops but no one was available.

Good on him for stopping - both times. There is the Pure Black team that trains together.in all black (and a few white stripes) kit. Its best (if they don't take the advice) to phone the local clubs and shops. Word will get to them.
