Rule 163

Personally I'd be more than happy to drive straight through a group of cyclists like that, but since the law tells us we can't do that, they should be setting up proper cycle carriageways.

Don't thank me, I'd nudge you into a hedge as soon as look at you.

Why?
People we cycling on the roads before car came along, so why can't they coexist? I have no problem with car drivers as long as they don't pull out on me or put me in the hedge. Same should go for car drivers should be fine with cyclists as long as they don't fuck their cars up, pull out on them etc.

It's for the safety of cyclists as much as anything.
You're more vulnerable than motorcyclists and don't even have the modest protection of being able to keep up with the traffic. Plus, regardless of whether or not it *should* be possible to get along, we don't. There's no reason why you can't use the road network, but different types of traffic need to be separated. Even the Romans could see that.
