So ride over a man hole cover or get run over. I can see why he wanted to avoid it

Victoria is by far the worste state for cyclists, and to rub salt in the wounds, the city's council is trying to close one of the main streets to make it a cycleway only. Hang up your lycra poofshorts cyclists, u have all got small willys anyway.

Totally unrelated, i've seen 2 scooter riders on 2 differant occasionsm fall off their vespers because they were sitting too close up my *** and i slammed on my brakes suddenly. They doth hit the tram tracks and flew over the handles. The first time was funny enough, the second time was hilarious.
I don't give a flying f--- if this gets me banned, but you are an absolute f---wit!

First off, you are in a car you idiot, you can brake / acclerate easily, the 20 seconds it'd take you to engage your brain, move around the cyclist and then accelerate up to speed is nothing compared to the damage you could cause to the bloke just cos you are an inconsiderate f---.

Yes there are cyclists who act stupidly, but there are also drivers who are complete a--holes like yourself who shouldn't be allowed to drive.

I myself ride a bike to get fit, does that make me a poof? you stupid idiot.

One thing I hate is car drivers who decide to carry on because it took them 2 seconds to move around me. Sure i'll use a cycle way if it is there, definitely, riding on the road is a last resort.

It's so easy to be sitting in a 2 tonne piece of metal and get frustrated cos shock horror you had to move your little feet around on the brake and accelerator, but try being on a 9kg bike with cars wizzing around you.

God i hope karma comes back and bites you in a big big way

Oh don't get me wrong i know they are bad, slipperly things but for the love of god why didn't he look around before he swerved, big hunks of steel use roads too. Thats what i was getting at

Idiots like you belong in jail......

I bet you're upset you didn't kill that person..

I've got as much detail from your profile etc, as possible and I'll be forwarding that information to the authorities. Hopefully they track you down and you get your just deserts ! :

lesson 1 - limit personal info on profile
lesson 2 - put your seats back on
