Cycling home in the dark last week, spotted a guy riding one of those monowheels on the road (currently illegal one understands). Ok, it had red LEDs on it, but no front light, no horn/bell, guy was swerving around people with his hands in his jacket pockets no doubt trying to look Mr Cool. No shoul...

Never mind e-bikes, what about those silly mono- 'hoverwheel' things?. Nothing hovvering, but they can really motor. No signalling, no lights, no horn/bell just some fool swerving around like they're enacting the Death Star trench scene from SW4

OMG, yes, this is a major annoyance of mine. I learnt to drive in 1981 and had an Uncle who was a professional instructor. Being family, he was free to swear at me when I got things wrong. He's long dead now, but he did impress into me that you DO NOT drive & park on pavements. Its rife now, isn...

There's a bloke uses one on the Bristol railway Path and it does motor!. These things aren't, as far as I know, street legal and certainly should not be ridden on footpaths or cycle-paths. Before anyone accuses me of being puritan since I happen to think that a segregated cycle path should not be us...

Unfortunately, some people see any empty space as a parking space. Last week I was commuting as usual along Cattle Market Road in Bristol and had just mounted the segregated path when some numpty tow-truck driver coming from the other direction casually drove up into the middle of the cycle path, ri...

I have been commuting along the B2B path for ten years now and have had a few encounters with 'motorbike yoof'. the last one was back in April this year, idiot came racing towards me on full size scrambler bike, swerving around other cyclists & pedestrians. I've often seen 'pit bike' on the path...

It seems to me that they are looking at the 'path of least resistance' in fear of annoying motoring lobby groups. it's easier to take space from pedestrians & cyclists isn't it?. Thousands use this route every week, myself included. In fact, it's one of the reasons why I bought a house near it. ...

Apologies if covered elsewhere, but the suits responsible for transport policy in the SW are once again gazing at the old Railway Path with envious eyes.... https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/city-could-tram-next-bristol-1157315 Warning: Ad laden hell of a website :( Some of us suspecte...

Typical Bristolian parking. Free legal space on road, but a few metres too far for someone to walk, so shove it on the pavement. I almost collided once with a 'texting zombie' along here. Ironically, the bloke stepped out onto the path while staring down at his mobile, stepping right on top of a big...

Hit one on the Bristol Railway Path a few months back. Definitely hit it, stopped expecting a corpse, but nothing!. A few days later a guy on a road bike in front of me also hit one.

The Bristol post is well known to the cycle community here in Bristol as being fairly anti-cycling. They recently published a dumb 'article' on their website stating that since Cattle Market Road is temporarily closed to traffic and has blue advisory 'Cyclist dismount' signs on it, that somehow we a...

I was in Amsterdam last year for the Dutch Kingsday celebrations. I was struck by the increased number of mopeds being ridden in the cycle lanes which is legal over there. My B&B owner, who used to ride one himself back in the 90's, commented that numbers had risen to such a level that they were...

One that annoys me: Sat in ASL at junction, turning right. Motorcyclist pulls up on my left into box, ignoring rules :evil: . Quite clear they are turning right...from a left hand position :twisted: . I now have a fast moving vehicle attempting to cut through on my inside, ignoring the rules of the ...

I always give horses a lot of room since they can spook easily whereas my bike doesn't. Stop until they pass, smile and be polite. However, I don't think they should be on the shared use pathway for cyclists and pedestrians though. Horses are not generally permitted on the Bristol Railway Path, but ...

Is there actually a sign on Cattle Market Rd saying motorcyclists should dismount? Or does it say they should use a different route or something like that? Cos if it's actually suggesting motorcyclists should push their bikes under the bridge, it's pretty ridiculous. Far too heavy and too much drag...
