Are Cyclists Causing Traffic Problems on Country Roads?

I think this thread has served it purpose, it has shown what laws apply to cyclists, the rest is personal opinion.

Attached is an example of what I'm talking about: white male, upper middle class, expensive bike, dressed in "bicyclist" costume,

At best the is stereotypnig. At worst, this is profiling. Are we really going to go here?

So we assume that, based on similar appearance, individuals are identical, share the same values and motivations?
Because these guys on that kind of bike, wearing that riding outfit with this colour skin were rude, means that it's a safe assumption that the next guy I encounter that looks like that is going to have the same manners and attitude?

zooby, please send me your mugshot. I will determine, based things I see in it (with a very heavy dose of arbitrary prejudgement), how you and all other zooby-like people I have never yet met will behave. I can tell by the clothes you wear, and by my understanding of what class of person buys that kind of shirt.

We sure have shed some light on a subject people have very strong - and quite polar - views on. Forget politics and religion - it's road etiquette that will bring people to blows.

Agreed. Thread is tied off.
