Ah.

Didn't see that, but then again I don't visit there because I don't want to come out of it f***ing swearing like a fu****g c**t boll*ck w*nk turd sh*t a*se c**k m****r fu***ker.

(as you can see, I fackin visited the forum to check it out CO*K!

symo

Voted as pro-cycle as is possible. Including 20mph speed limit in city areas.

downfader

Voted also. They've been a bit too keen on helmets/flouro reflectives for the wrong reasons in the past though, perhaps. Though the more who encourage cycling as a real and viable alternative to a money gaffawing, space killing car, LOL, the better.

UndercoverElephant

I voted "Other" for the "What would help cyclists most" question, as I reckon drivers need to understand that it's their responsibility to look out for cyclists, rather than it being a cyclist's responsibility to make themselves more and more visible.

Cue the grammar nazis ;-)

lights 24/7? - what are they sponsored by duracell or something? :shock: :evil:

ratherbeintobago

The questions are all a bit skewed; nothing about better traffic policing or making it clear to drivers that it's their responsibility to look for cyclists, as has been pointed out above.

So if IAM members vote that it should be compulsory for cyclists to wear helmets, carry lights 24/7 and ride on seperate cycle lanes..... :?



<shudder>



Meanwhile back in the real world.

Surf-Matt

I've been an IAM member for 11 years and voted for lycra to be banned.

I forget where I saw it but someone was campaigning for lights 24/7 on cycles - through the compulsary use of dynamos. Only B&M seem to make a reasonable dynamo light and it aint cheap.

I really don't understand what the point of this would be. We are not Volvo drivers! :x

I know, and imvho I think it teaches people to look for lights rather than vehicles and people. The pedestrian will suffer as a result which is why I think it has never come into law in the UK.

Not just Volvo's and Old SAABs with Daylight Driving lamps now.

FWiW My answer to what else can be done was "Better Driver AND Cyclist education"
