Macadder, you've outdone yourself. Another totally inane post.
"One solution would be to make 6 months of motorcycle or bike riding a compulsory requirement before applying for a current drivers license!"
Yeah mate, and why don't we also have have 6 months of skateboarding before we can walk on the footpath???
Are you for real??
"Swallow their vitriol" ?? Really??
Your post positively drips with vitriol.
No one is saying that you're not entitled to use the road macadder. All we ask is that the push biking fraternity exercise common sense. ie. If I'm driving near heavy vehicles I'm driving to survive, not insist on my rights like a dopey cyclist.
When your dead, you can't come back and declare it wasn't your fault. You lose.
"A lot of uninformed idiotic posts here from the anti -cycling rabble."
Not uninformed macadder, just good people not wanting to maim or kill another cycling clown. I witnessed the aftermath of a collision between a cyclist and a 6 wheel tipper years ago. In 2 hours the body was bagged and removed and the road hosed off and everything carried on as normal. Quite sad really... Fault was immaterial... the cyclist was still dead.
