Ok I love cycling, I mean really love it. I ride lots, I ride to work, the shops and around to mates houses for beers. You could say I am an addict.
Some of the sexiest bikes I have ever seen are singlespeed or fixies, there totally awesome. You can imagine how pleased I was today when around 50 singlespeeds went flying past my work today, there were all different colours and sizes and some pretty funky people riding them. Awesome.
Then the lights changed to red, I thought I might get a closer look. However I have never seen such a bad example of road manners and illegal riding as I witnessed today. Every single one of them, I really do mean every one of them went flying straight through, running the red. Motorists were gobsmacked, as was I. People were beeping, motorists had no idea what to do or were to go.
The cyclists were laughing and joking as they caused chaos on the road.
I managed to capture a bit of it on video from my phone, it’s not great quality but it gives you a small idea as to how bas this actually was. It’s little wonder I find it difficult to justify cycling to my non cycling friends when we are witness to this behavior on an all to regular basis.
I would be interested to hear your view’s on this. From cyclists and non cyclists alike.
