Peaceful co-existence unlikely

Cycling groups are a carping lot. They demand infrastructure, cycle ways. Fair enough.

And they demand respect, from motorists. That'll never happen – not until they physically separate cycle lanes and roadways. Cars and cycles were never meant to co-exist.

But how about cyclists showing some respect – give to get here guys.

Respect and ye shall be respected.

Because I am also a walker and a runner and I am sick and tired of self-entitled cyclists, especially on the Daisy Hardwick who sail past at a rate o' knots and scare the hell out of you. No, we often don't hear you coming from behind. And why not a friendly 'passing on the right” or a bell ring.

Blokes on bikes are the worst. On the tracks like the Daisy, walkers and runners are lesser beings in the mind of male cyclists.

Okay, I understand it's not cool to have a bell on a $,000 racing machine, but then don't demand respect on the roads. I even find I am now rebuking myself when I move over a lane when driving to give a cyclist safe passage. They make me feel they don't deserve the consideration.

Help me like you guys!!

Goldsmith, Bureta.
