Cyclists are a menace on our roads and will continue to be one. Nuff said.

It is almost impossible for cyclists and motorists to co-exist and share our roads safely.

Here's why:

What Happened?

3 Clowns clad in their spandex cycling attire decided to tailgate and draft behind a freight truck to reduce their drag and achieve enhanced aerodynamics on West Coast Highway.

Yes, you read that right - BEHIND A FREIGHT TRUCK.

And not that it changes anything, but the three cyclists were cycling in lane two instead of keeping to the left-most lane LOL.

To be frank, it doesn't seem very dangerous...until the truck has to perform an e-brake for some reason.

That's when matters will take a turn for the worse.

There is an exceptionally high chance that the cyclists would rear-end the truck, either because of:

1) their inability to react in time due to the mere 1-second distance away from the truck; and/or

2) the bicycle's braking capability.

So many TP officers positioning on overhead bridges and building rooftops and hiding behind bushes trying their luck in lasing speeding vehicles and when come to catching and exterminating road bugs they just shrugged and asked: "So!? What do you all want us to do? And what can we do?" ://

In the end, it is the individual discipline and morals that matters. Pity the officials that we have a bunch of self-entitled people that every now and then pollute the road and expect officials to create rule to an otherwise simple situation. 

If people are more considerate and thoughtful, our society would be such a better place together. But we are not heading in that direction sadly. Life's too good really.

They are very happy that the lorry driver cannot see them.

There will be situations when the lorry has to apply emergency brakes. They would not be seen forever.

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    When suppressed feelings arise

    "Don't keep it bottled up inside" is a saying many of us are familiar with. By now, most of us are aware that ignoring your emotions is an unhealthy practice. Yet many of us do it anyway. I don't think I'm particularly stoic, but as I get older, I've realised that I do tend to not express how I'm feeling, and that this practice has led to anxiety. One example of this happened just a few weeks ago. Prior to this year's Motor Show, I had trouble sleeping. I would keep waking up with my m

    Titan's Fall: Back to Square One

    Manchester United have once again signalled a restart with the sacking of Ten Hag, and just days later, announced the appointment of Ruben Amorim, who will join midway through the first half of the current season from Sporting Lisbon. Back to square one yet again for the Red Devils who, despite being one of the most successful clubs in England and biggest clubs in the world, have not won a league title since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.
