    I used to.

    Yes I am honest, but I dont anymore, I have started gaining respect for the motorist.

    But even though I show more respect, they still like to honk at me becuase they cant get by in a single lane or they like coming 2 inches from my bars.

    I still think some motorists are nobs.

    They want us to do this and do that, but they wont do the same.

    I ride on the road, I get honked at and told to f off the road.

    I ride on the pavement (STILL) in dangerous locations, and am told to piss off.

    TELL ME MR MOTORIST WERE AM I SUPPOSED TO RIDE.

    They even park on cycle routes, do the wardens do anything .... NO

    So to be honest, if you want to be that nob to get his head smashed in by Running the light then thats up to you, but if you wait you are not going to get any more respect from the car driver.

    1. I own a car, and I always pay attention or have respect for anything on the road.
    2. I own a mountain bike, which apparantly to some motorists in Cardiff I am not allowed to ride anywere near a road, and If I ride off road I get god damn YOB motorbikers thinking they can drive on a xc course.

    Everyone is a nob if you ask me. Apart from us ... :lol:

    Seen today in Oxford!!!! Two coppers slowly riding together on their poorly equipped police issue marin mountain bikes with naff silver old fashioned bells (and not in single file either!). One talking to the other while riding one handed slowly down busy road. Quite an involved conversation by the looks of it. Possibly some police matter, or maybe where they can find a decent kebab later while on duty. (?) Still coasting along. Approaching pedestrian crossing on amberlight. Still talking and coasting along. Lights flick to red, they are half a second away from crossing over the thick white stop line. Still talking and coasting. The one on left nearside misses old lady starting to cross with her shopping trolley, by about 1 or 2 inches. Coast straight through and onwards with no idea of what they did! Some guy yells 'hey!' They STILL are oblivious to what they did.

    Mate that's nothing, try coming down the road to Didcot. The police cycle patrols ride on the pavement here!
