22nd September 2014, 02:11 PM #61Wow, you are a mind reader now. Do you have a persecution complex?
To be honest, considering the number of cyclists I encounter, compared to the number of non-cyclists, I would have to say that per capita they (cyclists) would be slightly over-represented (only slightly).
OK basically you don't have any real issue with most cyclists. So what problems do you believe registration/insurance will fix? Are you aware of a situation where a cyclist has caused injury or death to another road user and gotten away with it?
Because usually the registration thing is trotted out by people who are running out of arguments for why cyclists shouldn't be allowed on the road. They try to legitimise their belief by saying things like "they don't even pay registration" in the misguided belief that rego fees pay for the roads. Of course then that leads to arguments about why registration is a waste of time and money and so on. They are then trapped and have to try and establish legitimate reasons for wanting it. So is Armidale rife with cyclists causing collisions and doing a runner?"I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

22nd September 2014, 03:45 PM #63So how exactly do you "observe" a "mindset" of some guy is a passing car?
I'm not rehashing it all again ..."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

Crikey You guys are paranoid. I said "keep out of the way of motor vehicles" not keep out of my way, or as you seem to think "Get out of the f**king way". I was thinking of the cyclist's own self preservation and think it is good advice, but then I made no allowances for biased mind readers.
My biggest gripe with cyclists are the ones who do not warn of their approach and nearly wipe me and/or my Jack Russels out on the sheared Recreation Trails and not when I am gunning along in my 1 tone Ute, although I have had to dodge a few who have been trying to commit suicide by motor vehicle.

Just because I'm paranoid, it doesn't mean everyone is not out to kill me
"I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."
