Furious with side by side cyclists
Share this:
From Chris Pearson.
BASICALLY, I’m wondering where the motorist stands with regards to cyclists riding side by side, especially going up hills.
My family and I are keen cyclists, I’ve been cycling for 30 plus years now and Jersey is the perfect place for it. I am aware that the Corbière walk has caused a lot of problems being closed in parts, but there is no excuse for cyclists to ride two abreast up hills.
For example, last month I was taking my children to school, and may I add I also take two other children who live in the same street, when around 8.30 am I came across two cyclists side by side going up the hill.
The queue was backed up and slow. Eventually, when I managed to pass, I calmly called to them ‘can’t you guys go single file up the hill’. The response was ‘bleep off’ and one of them spat right at me. I was furious. It has happened three or four times now.
Where do we stand? We pay insurance and our road tax on the fuel for the use of the roads. What do they pay to use our roads? Its common sense at the end of the day.
