.... Apparently 66% of Daily Mail readers don't either.
The subject, your opening and other posts in this thread show very little respect for cyclists as road users.
So why post that cyclists using the road is crazy? Or that all users sharing the road is like a football team trying to share a cupcake?
Leo, your're one guy whose posts I read because you always have something to say. Your posts above are short of the mark. Please read my posts. And I think you're a Moderator
Thanks, and I won't pretend I'm always right. I was attempting to understand why you chose the title you did, and seemed to be suggesting in the opening and other posts that the cyclists in question should not have been using the road, saying they were crazy for doing so. If I'm wide of the mark on my interpretation, it seems from other responses that I'm not alone. Please clarify if you feel that doesn't sum up your opinion or reading of the situation in the opening post (where it's not clear if the cyclists were overreacting or had a justifiable reason to complain, did you see the incident and the space allowed?).
There is some confusion because you speak of the need for common sense and respect from all road users towards each other, and this conflicts with some of your other postings. I'd be strongly of the opinion that there isn't enough common sense and respect on the roads, but that is endemic across all road users and to single out any specific grouping is unfair and unhelpful.
never said cyclists should not be allowed to use our roads. What's confusing of my view that we need common sense and respect from all road users?
Should cyclists be obliged to use the greenway on the day of the race?:- I think so, but pedestrians should have been prevented from using it.
But, I reckon the common sense option and in the interests of safety, an exception should have been made for the occasion.

The confusion continues...
Leo, with due respect the only person who appears confused is you.
Congestion isn't reducing because they are deliberately increasing congestion (reducing capacity for cars) to force people to alternative methods of transport to make cities and such nicer places to live.
