Safety tip:
When on a car journey with your children, get them to count bicycle riders on the road..
When they learn to drive, they’ll notice them easier. pic.twitter.com/leQEuHOLlQ— Safe Cycling Ireland 🇮🇪 (@SafeCyclingEire) December 11, 2019
Meanwhile…
Maybe by then cyclists will have to hold a license and pay insurance…

FIGHT!
Update:
Mandatory insurance would need to be linked to unworkable bicycle registration. BTW, I have 3rd party insurance for my bicycle, and fully comp for the car. An estimated 1 million motorists in the UK drive with no insurance. https://t.co/YZN1WuQaiY

In fairness.

While this ad campaign is very good, many drivers seem to think they have to cross the centre line to allow 1.5 metres when passing a cyclist. Many more drivers seem to think they may cross the centre line into the path of oncoming traffic rather than waiting behind the cyclist until it is safe to pass.
when weighing up options on how best to pass, ‘just fupping wait’ doesn’t seem to factor for most motorists
They also rant about ‘how will I know it’s exactly 1.5m’ entirely missing the point that it’s about safety for everyone, not skirting the law by a cm.
Imagine someone who supports Sinn Féin having simplistic ideas in other areas of life – colour me surprised…
That penchant isn’t a function of one’s political views in my experience.
Serial Doxer At It Again.
what is this in relation to; it’s literally part of his Twitter handle…
Also a Liverpool fan from the looks of things. You’ll Never Think Alone
Don’t forget to bash his support of Liverpool too. Make sure that tar brush is nice and wide
I didn’t realise cyclists were being killed by motorists because they didn’t have to pay tax or pay for insurance.. So I guess that means that all those cases of manslaughter should be categorised as murder then, right?
“When they learn to drive..”
Insightful.
I somtimes cycle 20k to work. I sometimes drive to work and I sometimes ride a motorbike to work. So I think I speak without bias when I say
Some cyclists can be a-holes with a persecution complex.
Some car drivers can be aggressive a-holes
Some bikers can be idiotic a-holes with a death wish.
Maybe if there was less a-holery all ’round the world would be a nicer place.
(I include myself in all 3 btw)
Only one of the categories you listed regularly kill other road users through their a-holery, though
maybe the a-hole driver did nothing wrong and the a-hole cyclist caused itself to get dead all by itself
It’d be better to have them count the number of cyclists on their bikes, not on the road.
