So why do cyclists like to go around at night almost invisble and with silly tiny cycle lights...and WHY when we riders have to nod and wave like idiots to every other road user despite controlling 1ton of unpredictable live blood and muscle,do cyclist speed up,behind,and passed you like silent cheetahs without a word or any ackowledgement that there are other users on the road

cyclists are in a world of there own one night coming home with the tractor a cyclist was up ahead he kept looking round and trying to speed up i passed him with plenty of space looked in the mirrors no cyclist no wonder i could not see him he was holding on to the hydraulic arms of the tractor a quick jab on the brakes and he was not a happy Bunnie
many years ago there was a cyclists caught on the m9 he got of with it claiming it was safer cycling on the hard shoulder in dense fog than cycling on an a class road

As a horse rider I found that the most considerate road users were motorcyclists. Perhaps they knew about the dangers of falling off.

Have to agree about cyclists silently creeping up behind 700kg of spook waiting to happen.
