Fury over sjambok attack on cyclists

[Cray]

You get three types of cyclist, and only one of them is a problem.

Mountain bikers are usually well adjusted and normal human beings.
Communting cyclists who choose to ride to work instead of driving aren't too bad either.
And then there are the guys who take their road cycling seriously and quite frankly most of them are pricks. They are entitled, aggressive and a danger to themselves and every other road user. I think sjambokking is a good start but we should work up from there.

I was a road cyclist and mountain biker in the UK. Riding on SA roads cured me of for the former..

When cyclist ride in a bunch and slow me down, I do the following:

I patiently get in front of them, drive a little way and then stop with hazards on.
Then they have to ride around me while avoiding the cars taking over me. They always look very pissed.

Now you've gone and done it. Jesus is not pleased with you.

It's actually sad that cyclists can't enjoy the open road as well. I may get a little annoyed with them, but 30 seconds after passing them, they are a distant memory and my life moves on.
