@arben_sallaku @allpartycycling Oh behave ‘already discriminated drivers’

[Michael Ashurst @MichaelAshurst]

@arben_sallaku @allpartycycling Let’s blame the bicycle in this instance 🤦🏻‍♂️

@KatyCycles @PeakBikeStation @sgalpin @CEO_BikeStation And how come cars don’t need to wear high vis when parked at night with no lights on? 😂

[Michael Ashurst @MichaelAshurst]

@oOPeterOo @PeakBikeStation @sgalpin @CEO_BikeStation I think that having very good lights should be enough to give cars ‘more time to see me’
Here’s a photo of my bike in a pitch black room

@RachidSayoud @IonutBanu1 Those bloody cyclists!! Would you believe there’s no speed limit for them 😜

[Michael Ashurst @MichaelAshurst]

@mralibongo Is driving also not permitted or is it just the ‘non road tax paying’ cyclists?

[Michael Ashurst @MichaelAshurst]

@MarkEDenton @lawro14764 @kil0ran @cyclegaz The ‘war’ will never end. Things like road tax, insurance, high vis, taking a test to be ‘allowed on our roads’ etc cause so many arguments from cars. Most cyclist own cars, pay tax, have insurance and know the HWC, but people see me on a bike n say I don’t pay for the roads

[Michael Ashurst @MichaelAshurst]

@MarkEDenton @lawro14764 @kil0ran @cyclegaz There’s just as many bad drivers as there are bad cyclists, but I don’t go around hating on all drivers for it.
The push back from cyclists is bc cars needlessly put their lives at risk just to get in front of them.
I have a car, but choose to commute by bike as it’s far quicker.

[Michael Ashurst @MichaelAshurst]

@MarkEDenton @lawro14764 @kil0ran @cyclegaz What’s also quite interesting is how much hate cyclists get for simple existing both on an off twitter.

[Michael Ashurst @MichaelAshurst]

@MarkEDenton @lawro14764 @kil0ran @cyclegaz Shame cars never follow this and many other Highway Code rules isn’t it 🤷‍♂️

[Michael Ashurst @MichaelAshurst]

@VincentStops @cyclegaz Anyone with a set of eyes will see that��s the design of the cycle lane 😂

[Michael Ashurst @MichaelAshurst]

@ohbee07 That close pass was a choice from the driver, they chose to pass super close even though the road was empty

[Michael Ashurst @MichaelAshurst]

@cyclegaz It's never the drivers fault is it? 🤣

[Michael Ashurst @MichaelAshurst]

@ohbee07 @RosNigel Unfortunately the world is full of idiots like Nigel who see a video like this, of a car trying to bully someone because of their mode of transport, and conclude the car did nothing wrong.

[Michael Ashurst @MichaelAshurst]

@rast8 @AdamBronkhorst Tell me you've never ridden a bike on UK roads without telling me you've never ridden a bike on UK roads

[Michael Ashurst @MichaelAshurst]

@helenpidd Yes, because cars think they pay for the roads and took a test to be ‘allowed to use them’ and cyclists just jump on a bike and ‘don’t stop at red lights’ or pay ‘road tax’ and don’t have insurance.

[Michael Ashurst @MichaelAshurst]

@TheBlueUlysses You missed out high vis, insurance, license plates, having to take a test to be allowed on the roads ‘they’ pay for 😭

[Michael Ashurst @MichaelAshurst]

@RnLittlewood @TheBlueUlysses The amount of drivers I see not indicating, speeding, on their phones, going through red lights, cutting cyclists and other vehicles up, to name a few, it’s a lot.
I like to play ‘driver bingo’ when I’m out to see how many things I can spot drivers illegally doing.
