You see, this statement just highlights the fallacies of the motorist outlook - slow people are 'dopey'... maybe even mentally disabled........ , fast drivers are 'alert'Xplora wrote: but this goes both ways as well, slow dopey people frustrate fast alert people
Often it is just as likely to be the reverse in reality
I'd like to think that my friend who is 74 years old and rides quite a lot, but now no longer keeps up the pace of many younger riders, would not be discarded and devalued as a person by motorists who think he is dopey
BTW, he rides on the roads virtually all the time, never on footpaths.

That sure would be nice.

The paradigm shift I favour, BTW, is one where we start with the premise that human beings have an inherent dignity including, relevantly, the right to freedom of movement and go from there. I don't know exactly how this would pan out, but I bet it'd be better than the current motorists-have-an-inherent-dignity paradigm.
This isn't the expectation I find problematic. The expectation that I find problematic is the expectation that slow traffic should do everything possible to avoid slowing fast traffic. Nope, sorry, the obligations mostly rest with the overtaking driver and rightly so. This is often the context in which cycling on the footpath comes up - a problematic solution to a non-problem with nothing more than a misplaced sense of entitlement driving(excuse pun) it. My experience of legalising footpath cycling, as a Queensland cyclists, can be summed up as follows: meh. It hasn't done any harm, AFAICT, but nor has it helped.Xplora wrote: I guess I accept that cars are there to make things better for us - they help us do things a lot faster than if we were trying to do them via cargo bike or horse.

Dopey, slow road users have exactly the same rights as everybody else. True, many motorists don't seem to get this, but the problem isn't imaginging cyclists to be dopey and slow, it's in imagining that dopey and slow means any fewer rights in the first place. To be fair, this vice isn't limited to motorists.

I used to think bicycles are a lawful vehicle and should just ride anywhere no matter how much they slow up the traffic. Nowadays I take bicycle friendly routes and avoid roads that I am likely to slow the traffic.high_tea wrote:This isn't the expectation I find problematic.

In any case, recent surveys of traffic on main roads show that they have slowed down to the speed of bicycles anyway.

Sure, I favour bicycle friendly routes too, because it makes for a more pleasant ride. That's not the issue. The issue is that I'm expected not to slow traffic down, ever. I'm expected to take risks (like riding in doorzones) to do it. This expectation stinks.diggler wrote:I used to think bicycles are a lawful vehicle and should just ride anywhere no matter how much they slow up the traffic.

I put this equally salient point to you - slow dopey road users do NOT have a greater right to the road than the faster road users, and that means subverting the reason the road is there. The road's sole intention is to be a faster safer thoroughfare than just a grass field.high_tea wrote: Dopey, slow road users have exactly the same rights as everybody else.

To be fair, this vice isn't limited to motorists.
Everyone has a right to use the road, even the imbeciles who drooled in the cereal as they pulled their licence out of the cornflakes box, within the rule of law, BUT everyone also has a responsibility to treat the road as a thoroughfare for traffic. Yes, the overtaking vehicle bears responsibility for overtaking safely, but 95% of traffic participation is staying within one lane behind someone else. You, me, your mum, we all have a responsibility to make life easier for other people when possible. Be thankful to the Lord if you don't have to deal with too many knuckledraggers on your commutes, but I do. I have no interest in holding up traffic, I will not pootle along a major Sydney road to prove a point. I do ride 500m in the right hand lane along Victoria Road as part of my commute, because it is reasonably clear that I'm there for a reason and I'm not trying to hold people up - even though I DO hold them up a bit.
Your post seemed to imply that *&^kers and knuckledraggers need a pat on the head and we shouldn't offend them. NO. This just isn't right, and ignores the reason the road exists! We can't focus on rights. Slower traffic has the RIGHT to expect to be treated in a nonviolent, nonaggressive way. They have a right to get to their destination in one piece. But they also have a responsibility to GTFO of the way, because if you want to go slow, leave the car at home and walk on the footpath (segue to original thread topic LOL). Breakdowns and abnormally slow traffic are extraordinarily rare events with modern cars *1% of trips?*, GPS makes it easy to navigate as well... there are no excuses, if you want to be on the road, wake up, smell the fumes and pay attention. X isn't here to do all the heavy lifting for you so you arrive in one piece!
Don't get me wrong - I'm talking about people making a choice to drive poorly and make life miserable for others. I think that most of us will get off the main lane when it is safe and practicable while riding. I am probably one of the most arrogant lane hoggers out there (hence my decision to take the lane on Victoria Road LOL) but I recognise that I don't need the whole lane once it is safe to move over. It's ALL about using your brains, switching on, and being an active road user. Too many drivers are not, and THEY are ones that will make life hard for the rest of us. I live in the busiest, most hardcore traffic city in the world. I want everyone else to realise this as well, because somehow they don't!

There is no way anyone could convince me to ride on the road with my kids in the trailer, I value their lives more than that so I’ll quite happily stick to the footpaths, going at a relatively slow (about 12-15kph, slowing around pedestrians) speed. I also stop when crossing intersections and pay as much attention as i possibly can to driveways. It’s all just riding to the conditions and not acting as though it is my god given right to be where I am and to hell with everyone else, as some drivers/cyclists/pedestrians do.

riding on footpath should not be allowed, but there are exeptions.. ;
So technically your saying that the only exception is to have some sort of disability? Bit hypicritical isn't it, not to mention an insult to disabled cyclists. ( cyclists as in anyone who rides a bike )

Restating your argument with different perjoratives hasn't improved it one bit. I betcha there are people who see no compelling reason for you to do what you are doing. As far as they are concerned there is no difference between you and the "*&^kers and knuckledraggers" that you complain about. I betcha that a lot of the people you're irritated at have what are, as far as they are concerned, perfectly good reasons for doing what they're doing.Everyone has a right to use the road, even the imbeciles who drooled in the cereal as they pulled their licence out of the cornflakes box, within the rule of law, BUT everyone also has a responsibility to treat the road as a thoroughfare for traffic.

No need to put words into my mouth. I stated that they have a perfect right to be there. Whatever question-begging perjoratives you choose to label them with, I stand by that.Your post seemed to imply that *&^kers and knuckledraggers need a pat on the head and we shouldn't offend them.
An unreasonable expectation. I can think of plenty of cogent reasons for going slower than some random in a car expects. I've heard this argument used to justify too much loutish behaviour (up to and including actually hitting someone with a car) to take it at all seriously.NO. This just isn't right, and ignores the reason the road exists! We can't focus on rights. Slower traffic has the RIGHT to expect to be treated in a nonviolent, nonaggressive way. They have a right to get to their destination in one piece. But they also have a responsibility to GTFO of the way,
I think that drivers of overtaking vehicles should assume good faith. The fact that there is no apparent reason for what another driver is doing doesn't mean there is no good reason for it.
Which sits ill with the contention that everybody has a right to use the road. "Everybody has the right to use the road, just don't ever impinge on mine, even a little bit" scales incredibly badly.because if you want to go slow, leave the car at home and walk on the footpath (segue to original thread topic LOL).
I've got two words for you: birthday paradox.Breakdowns and abnormally slow traffic are extraordinarily rare events with modern cars *1% of trips?*,
There are plenty of cogent reasons for driving that bit slower. There are plenty of cogent reasons for taking the lane or otherwise delaying some motorist by some trifling amount. "GTFO the way" makes sense on a racetrack. I just wish people would take that attitude there and leave it there.GPS makes it easy to navigate as well... there are no excuses, if you want to be on the road, wake up, smell the fumes and pay attention. X isn't here to do all the heavy lifting for you so you arrive in one piece!

According to BNV's report of 2002, 16% of fatalities (the second largest cause) involve a cyclist "entering a road from a driveway or footpath". I'd guess that some percentage of these would have involved footpath riding*. Most of these cyclists were male, aged under 15.GraemeL wrote:How many riders have been killed in the last 30yrs riding on the footpath?

Where 'hit from behind' is a real fatality risk is on rural roads. High speeds, inattention, not expecting a cyclist. I have safe strategies for this as well.

It seems the highest number are hit from behind and that is always the thing I worry about and it is the main reason I use a camera.
That report says most are under 15yrs, maybe it's because of inexperience. It also seems that its not because of cars coming out of driveways or at intersections, it is when they are on the footpath and ride onto the road either from a driveway or cutting across the verg onto the road with out looking.
All I am saying is that we should have the option of either riding on the road or the footpath, because there are times when one may feel it is not safe to ride on the road and would feel safer riding along the footpath. I am not talking about riding at speed on the footpath, I am talking about speeds of maybe 25k max but probably more like 15 - 20k. If you need to travel faster then you can do that on the road.
Just like the road there are risks, but at least on the footpath the impact speeds would be lower. There are people that are too scared to use the road and there are those who only ride now and then, for them it's not about speed, it's about pleasure. These people feel the footpath is the safest place and I would assume that most would be aware that cars come and go from driveways etc.

Sorry GraemeL, it says nothing of the sort. They are just collisions that occurred when the cyclist "rode onto the road from a driveway or footpath". This is quite likely to have been kerb-jumping in some cases. Equally likely to be riding across a side road from the footpath. Or some other scenario. As to the proportions, neither you nor I know that. Please don't speculate too much.GraemeL wrote:It also seems that its not because of cars coming out of driveways or at intersections, it is when they are on the footpath and ride onto the road either from a driveway or cutting across the verg onto the road with out looking.
Feeling safe is one thing - entirely your choice. Actually being safe may well be a totally different thing - as suggested by the collision data for urban areas. I prefer to follow the road rules and place myself on the road, where I am visible and am able to ensure drivers give way to me according to the laws.GraemeL wrote:All I am saying is that we should have the option of either riding on the road or the footpath, because there are times when one may feel it is not safe to ride on the road and would feel safer riding along the footpath......

On the road you are only visible to the driver that is looking and even then you have no control over that drivers actions and you definately have no control over a distracted driver.Then there are those drivers that think we should not be on the road, again you have no control.

I agree with the other post. Males aged under 15 are inexperienced, can be dare devils etc. Are there many adults killed entering a road from a driveway or footpath?

Riding on a footpath may have it's risks, but at least people don't have to put up with being abused or threatened by idiots that think the world owes them a favour and there is no danger of being hit from behind because the driver was'nt paying attention.
If it were allowed it may ecourage more people to take up cycling and no matter how many that is, it's a win for cycling as a whole.

I ride pretty much like this on my commute - 10kms each way in the middle suburbs (car-centric travel) and yet I find I get next to no abuse. Just does not raise itself as an issue. The only times I get close-shaves are when I vague out and go too close to the kerb. Riding wide I force drivers to make the decision to change lanes to pass, with no grief from them.GraemeL wrote:It may show how to ride on busy roads, but they leave out the part where you are being abused and shaved etc for taking up too much room on the road.

There will always be those that have no regard for anyone's safety and it wouldn't matter if we rode on the moon, they still wouldn't be happy.
Both locations have their advantages and disadvantages, but for those inexperienced, the footpath is the safest option. I really don't understand why people are against the idea, it's not going to impact them and if it gets more people on bikes then it's all good.

I don't envy you that ride, my commute I have a lane wide shoulder to ride in for the whole 10km except for about 50m on the way in and about 150m on the way home (50 m of which i take the footpath as the lane is so narrow a car bearly fits in it.)il padrone wrote:I ride pretty much like this on my commute - 10kms each way in the middle suburbs (car-centric travel) and yet I find I get next to no abuse.
