Why is it utter shite to generalise cyclists? The vast majority of them are inconsiderate arseholes with arrogant 'I'm helping the planet' attitudes.
I'm sorry mate for your 'X-Factor' tale but to be blunt,it doesn't wash. Motorists have also been killed by the irresponsible cyclist and their actions. What does it prove? You name a sad tale,I could do the same.
If you wish to operate a 'vehicle' on a public road then get a licence same as motorists HAVE to. Pay a fee for use of the said roads and observe the highway code that every other motorist in the UK has to abide by.
Until that happens then you should keep your spangly lycra balls off the road and leave it for the people who actually pay to use it.
bollocks mate
