Of course they do... They undertake. They contravene red lights. They cycle on pavements and one way streets the wrong way. They don't have lights or Hi vis clothing. All of these actions have an adverse effect on other road users and put them in [HI]danger[/HI].
I do appreciate that not all cyclists do the Irresponsible things mentioned above.

Referring back to the original statement, are you agreeing that cyclists are more of a danger to drivers than vice versa? If so, please show me the evidence that drivers have come to harm because of cyclists because almost every search that I have done re cyclists and driver accidents shows the cyclist being killed or injured. The drivers have not been harmed.

Oh NO!

Hey can we polish this off before England start to play!!oh:

Now about "A" frames.....can anybody help explain them??

Best place to buy an A frame is Spain...

So many motorhomers have been stopped and fined for using them that they sell them as quickly as possible to anyone at any price...

I think that rather than relying on google.. Anyone doubting cyclists being their own worst enemy should have a drive through London at morning rush hour.

I don't live in London and the daily near-misses from vehicles that I experience are not as a result of being my own worst enemy.
As for a previous post saying that Legislation is not the issue. I beg to differ GREATLY! People cannot or will not self-regulate.

Just as not all motorists are as compliant as they should be.

Have you never had or seen a motorist undertake?
Have you never seen a motorist contravene red lights?
Have you never seen motorists driver onto pavements? Or park on them?
Have you never seen a motorist reversing back on a one-way street? Or
motorway even? (Plenty of infamous tv footage available for your
enjoyment!)
Have you never seen a motorist travelling without lights?

Perspectives please!
