This is one of the main reasons I stopped cycling. These bastards spoiled it for the rest of us old bird cyclists. I hope tire threads and vehicle undercarriages are the last things they see before they get snuffed out.

I think tney are turning right. You can see them slowly moving from left to right. On sunday there is no rush so maybe drivers can give a bit of space to sportsmen.

These cyclists are only behaving like this because they think they have strength in numbers .. emboldened by being in big herds they can take over the road. A drunk bangla lorry driver will make their balls drop

their fault lies in not indicating they are cutting lanes. basic traffic safety.

The arrows indicate that the two leftmost lanes are for turning left so they are moving over to the correct lane so they can proceed straight ahead.

If they stuck to the left they would end up on the BKE according to the signage.

My suggestion: make major roads 'red' zones for cyclists. They are not forbidden from cycling on them, but drivers are totally indemnified against liability for damages, injuries or deaths in an accident with cyclists. Cycle at your own risk, but you bear the consequences.

Then you sit back, and enjoy the show while the problem corrects itself. Fear is a great motivator, especially the fear of death.

How to signal. They need two hands on the handle for stability. You need to ride a bike to know how hazardous it is if you lift one hand off the handle.

Cycle on the pavements or park connectors, no one will stop them.

Can lift one leg to indicate like a dog before pee.

Pedestrians will. All pedestrians believe cyclists belong to the road. So there you go.

 

[LordElrond]

WALK.

Whoever that thinks walking is an exercise is delusional.

It is possible, I always signal. But that is unlikely to appease motorists. Most motorists are too dumb to understand roads are not build just for cars. They see cyclists, they fume. A refresher course should be made compulsory for all motorists to understand they do not have exclusive rights to road usage.
