“Selfish, Sanctimonious And Untouchable!” Mike Graham And Howard Cox Furiously BLAST Cyclists 

I’m a cyclist and I hate most other cyclists

This isn't all cyclists. This is the London elite cyclist. The worst kind.

The will be be able to stop them, but the cops are too busy chasing British people who wave flags and motorist.

Many cyclists are out of control. I've lost count of my near misses and that's on the pavement and pedestrian precincts. Almost got hit in the entry way to Sainsbury by a clown on a scooter doing about 20 miles an hour. Sick of them.

If the cyclist involved in the fatal incident had been a pedestrian, would he have got off scot free? Or would he have been prosecuted for some form of assault.

It's just another freedom to take away, if we were allowed to restore common sense and decency there would be no problem.

Nothing worse than over privileged people 🤬

The Monsal trail in Derbyshire is a nightmare. Walkers, children and dogs are in great danger from cyclists. When it was only for walkers it was great. Bikes and people cannot be on shared routes.

They should have clear registration plates because without this there is no liability and they can disappear with impunity! There is no accountability with no registration, so no stats as regards the problem.

Most of the cyclists I've encountered want other road users to abide by the rules yet fail to do so themselves. I was going downhill on a main road, a cyclist was coming up to the junction to my left and obviously didn't want to take his feet off the pedals so he barely stopped. I carried on down hill going at the speed limit and he caught up and was lingering on my n/side rear wheel. I was trying to keep my attention on the road and also watch what dangerous stunt he might pull. We came to some traffic lights on red......he went past 2 lines of cars at the junction and proceeded through the lights on red. No wonder cyclists get a bad name...

as someone who is returning to cycling for health reason I totally agree, compulsory bike reg and compulsery insurance, it's £60 a year to insure my ebike, and I'm limited to 16mph, there's already a system in place by the DVLA to type approve ebikes so it wouldn't take much to extend it to all bikes to get a vin & reg number, and say any bike after a set date without one will be crushed like they do with other road users

Have you been in Richmond park at the weekend. The cyclists own those roads in the park at the weekend. You the driver are restricted to 20mph and the cyclists overtake cars as if they are standing still. They go downhill at speeds of up to 40mph with no care for other park users.

On Saturday morning I was out my 10 yrs old husky who is terrified of cyclists, electric scooters and for good reason when she was a puppy she was rammed into by a Lycra wearing lunatic, thankfully she wasn't badly hurt as I managed to pull her out of the way, but Saturday just gone we were out for our usual walk , literally my heart nearly stopped when about 50 lycra wearing lunatics came racing up the path that we share 😳 so I moved over to the bus lane as I knew my dog would go nuts ,they kept coming there must have been about over a hundred of them, what I forgot to mention is that I have a problem with my knee,so I walk with one crutch ,so we carried on our walk always being vigilant but my worst fear came true, as I looked down the bus lane there were about another 100 or more lycra wearing lunatics charging towards us at speed,I pulled my girl Luna close to me as they rode past at speed, they could see my dog and myself were in a dangerous situation as I was trying to keep my dog safe whilst trying to not fall over 😞 sadly most of them thought it's hilarious one of them told me to get out of the way you tucking cripple 😞 this went on for what seemed like an eternity. The colour of their jerseys was orange and blue it happened in Swansea in the morning, I managed to get on the grass verge and got home,but myself and my dog Luna were traumatised by this, they didn't care about me my dog,my situation or the other dog walkers . I must explain why I choose to walk on the bus lane it's a quiet route where the park and ride buses drive up, I trust them more than I do any cyclist and to say that is something. They get away literally with murder and they have ,the old lady ,a married woman, many injured, they know damn well what they are doing but they are the first to moan when someone puts their life in danger, I can honestly say I hate cyclists and there should be a law that if they kill or injure someone or a pet they should be punished to suit the crime

Cycling is a legal method of travel. All E scooters other than those provided by the local council are illegal. Unrestricted E bikes are also illegal. The police first need to eradicate illegal transportation modes but there are too many issues. The confiscation, storage and disposal of these perambulations would be a logistical nightmare. Cyclists will remain a law unto theirselves. Get used to it. We are here to stay and I will continue to ride my bike like I’d only just stolen it. I do however, risk assessment my every move in order to keep myself in one piece!

Never were the roads more a jungle out there than ever...

Lycra louts. There are laws against cycling in a reckless manner. This country has laws for everything, there is no need for new laws. The cyclist who killed a woman has broken the law by taking someone's life, irrespective of the means he employed to do it.

Wreckless behaviour at least. They can find laws when they want. When they support cycling they can do what they want. Total irruption of the right and wrong.

I wear lycra. I used to race when I was younger. 80% of cyclists have a driving licence. Don't tar us all with the same brush. There are plenty of car drivers who are pillocks, and they are taxed and insured. It's all down to the individual in charge of the vehicle.

I live in Norwich and I walk everywhere. When I'm on the pavement these cyclists think they own the pedestrian pavement as well. They ring that bell behind me but I refuse to move so I have to move around me and they complain. I tell them they do not own the pavement and they don't like it. They get well and truly punished and disciplined by me. I give them short shrift. I tell them that they do not own the pavement of which I'm walking and I don't have the right to expect me to move. And this is a pedestrian walking in me. Pure.

Being stuck behind pellaton can get very frustrating at times, Evan as a cyclist, however I prefer to slow down & let cars pass, some of the problems also come from delivery cyclists on electric bikes, no lights bo sense of the road just low paid gig work shaving off time of delivery by cutting through everything. The pedal electric needs some sort of plate.

THATS BECAUSE THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THE HIGHWAY CODE IS! The highway code is a UK driving system - what happens when ppl who are not from here try to ingratiate themselves into uk driving sysyem when using systems from their respective home country? CHAOS!!! 💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏👍 XX

That video footage of cyclists in London looks like Ride London - a closed road event, designed for all sorts of cyclists, young and old, specifically designed to let people enjoy riding round some of the iconic parts of London! It's being used totally out of context here.

I once worked in Manchester city centre. A woman in my office was crossing at a pelican crossing near our building and a cyclist ran the red light, plowed into her and broke her arm. The police told her that it even if they could find him they couldn't charge him.

That's the reason they should be licensed and insured.

Arrogance can be dangerous for them and other road users

They refuse to have a bell fitted, or mudguards wear silly hats.

If a bicycle has a motor of any kind it should have a vehicle licence. Especially the high powered delivery rider ones. Using a throttle some go over 30mph. With no use of pedals.

I totally agree with this.

I don't know why you 'hate cyclists', as that's a bit genetic and tars them all with the same brush, cylists are also entitled to use tye roads; Perhaps it's better to say you hate bad cyclists, just as i hate bad drivers, or cyclists and motorcyclists. As a considerate and law abiding cyclist, bad cyclists anger me too, but lets not judge all of them because of the bad one's.

All these cyclists are Motorists as well by and large ! All the sky high parking charges and restrictions for cars these days make it only common sense to go down the bike route which has always been a "Working Mans" mode of transport since the pony and trap era.

What can I say cars are going so fast by my house and on the estate that no wonder so many cars kill people - what are we doing about these idiots ? Hang on we don't suddenly tarnish all car drivers BUT when we have idiots on cycles its a general " All cyclists" - 90% of 'cyclists' over 20 I would say are car drivers as well - We are ALL simply road users .

We are suffering all the plotting and planning of the world's narcissists during lockdown

Lots of video footage of people pottering about on bikes, but where’s the videos of these cyclists doing these speeds if it’s so widespread?

Why on earth can he NOT be prosecuted 😮

I'm a cyclist and I'm guilty as charged.

Thanks Mike for all your common sense talk you always make me smile

Strava is the key cause of this behaviour. It encourages people to chase records for a stretch of road, regardless of road conditions. If the Police could access and analyse Strava they'd be able to prosecute many cyclists in 20 mph zones.

Richmond Park gets the Peleton time-trial bunch all the time, couldn’t care less about other people or the deer and just seem to think the park is their private track - ridiculous🤬

What gets me that if a car hits a cyclist, the cyclist can claim against you as you have a reg that can be traced.. But if a cyclist hits you! Good luck getting anything.

You can't register and tax bikes because children use them. If you ran over 20 mph in the park you can't be prosecuted.

Like a couple of moaning old muppets.

It's ludicrous

most cyclists have insurance, and cyclists cannot be finded for excess speed, remember they dont make the laws, government do, So please try and educate yourself, before making such inaccurate comments

If they use the roads,pay insurance,bike safety test,tax, thats equality.😊

So true 💯 but i dont think its The mayors fault it is a higher up agenda

I would sue that cylist

Give us back our pavements too

all cyclists are responsible for any accidents they cause

My wife was waiting at the traffic lights in her car when a cyclist ran into the back of her and caused £350 worth of damage. Without even apologising he 0:15 rode off with his chums. How can anybody think this is right. Insurance mot and a licence plate should be mandatory together with more police action. Just like they use on us motorists. 😮

Why is it that with a car you need tax insurance and a driveing licence you need to pass to be in the road yet bikes need none of this ? Its time we change this now they think they own the road and pat nothing to finance it ? The mind boggles

Cyclists are elite get over it and maybe eat a little less and you’d be less angry

Motorists, complaining about cyclist speeding is a real face pabsolutely.Right , and the other thing also and I agree🤦

LONDON, LO DON, LONDON. This isn't the only place in the UK.

Nice balanced echo chamber we have here

As a cyclist i can say the most dangerous people on the road are cyclists, as they have no comprehension of road safety or laws. I stopped riding after someone ploughed into me from the side knocking me into a car. Now i walk, and nearly every day I'm nearly missed by an electric bike delivering food for just eat or uber or deliveroo. Nobody can stop them, nobody feels the need to regulate, train or supervise them. Danger to cars, danger to pedestrians and danger to themselves but it is woke, so there's nothing one can do, other than grumble and take the blame. You'll never stop it, it'll only get worse as more cars come off the road. I have one question: who is paying for damages if nobody is insured? Like the car I crashed into after being t-boned, it must have caused £600 in damage and nobody was accountable...can you imagine if the driver was injured badly and could no longer work?

The syndrome is Male Ego.

As far as I can tell, speeding cyclists and red light jumping started in London with cycle couriers. Why don't theses moaning radio shows get some cycle courier companies on to explain their responsibility towards the problem?

Hence why they should have insurance n tax to be on the road.bikes at 25/30 is more than speed limit.

How come the cyclist Charlie Alliston got 18 months for killing a woman who was crossing the road while texting and he was only doing 18mph.

There is some rank hypocrisy here. I am not going to defend dangerous cyclists for one moment but for motorists to complain about speeding is really something. Mike Graham talks about being "sanctimonious" and people thinking that they own the road. That just about sums up the attitude of many motorists who don't think that they have to obey speed limits or can drive right up someone's exhaust. Take the mote out of your eye Mr Cox.

they are not untouchable

Of course all car drivers are absolute angels...Of around 400 pedestrians killed in collisions in the UK each year, on average around 2.5 involve a bicycle. Put it another way: more than 99% of pedestrian collision deaths in this country involve a motorised vehicle. I think you may be aiming at the wrong target here lads...

Who are untouchable who

It’s the tour de London

They are so entitled and aggresive , it's the same where we live in Cornwall now , on the Camel Trail the speed some of these guys go is a joke and think it's there just for them .

You need to get a bike Mike, lose a few chins mate.

I don't know why they don't make them register an mot the bikes and fine them for braking the highway code. This government is always trying to make more money out of us. They'd make that much money out of cycling they'd be able to sort the NHS out an the boarder with money left over

Good on you Mike. Cyclists are obviously the greatest threat to our democracy and quality of life. I hope your anti cycling diatribe doesn’t provoke some low iq mobility device user (ie car driver) to use their device in a reckless and dangerous manner. How about doing some research on the correlation between the increasing improvements to car driver protection such as air bags, crumple zones and increasing driver recklessness and arrogance?

Educate yourself ffs

Why was he doing 29 mph on the pavement?

In Aviation, the larger, more unwieldly aircraft have priority/right of way over smaller and typically more controllable aircraft because it is easier to move a prop plane than a hot air balloon. Point is, HGVs should in virtue of 'natural selection' have priority over a sweaty cyclist. It's logical why!

Thanks for the comedy skit complete with childish insults , i could pull apart each one of your arguments but it's all been done before.The unfortunate accident happened for reasons more than "a speeding cyclist hit her" Hopefully we will soon see the motor car excluded from cities altogether and a real cycle infastructure in place , another nice touch would be peds actually looking where they step and not fixated on their toy . Amsterdam has led the way on this and quite frankly we are decades behind. Have you walked through a city without cars? it's beautiful, safe , you can breathe , the view is clear and you can hear your family speaking.

Many cyclists do like to intimidate pedestrians, they take great joy in buzzing people, known as a very near pass, and you can't report them because they have no identification displayed! Cyclists should be licensed and insured!

1:17 😂🤣 - that was pretty obv bud

I am not disagreed what you say but also is a swords a double hedge, we end up to be like China and more control.. So think about it. Like some one said long time ago.. People will accept more surveillance for safety.. We had this before not long time ago.

I empathise deeply with the family❤️💐🎊 of the pensioner who died. However, cyclists are disproportionately more likely to be killed. I am 58 and have cycled full time of 15 years (no driving). MOST cyclists are safe and are themselves more concerned about getting home safely than causing pedestrians harm. We seem to have a very ANTI-CYCLING culture here in the UK. I can’t imagine a piece like this in country like the NETHERLANDS. Time trialists are different from the average commuter just trying to get to work.

Most people in this country would benefit from riding to and from work instead of driving. We are all getting too fat and if work is within 5-10 miles from home then its a good practise to cycle and will improve peoples lives

Subject is as mundane as the Ukraine bull.

With traffic volumes on the roads these days cyclists are organ donor's waiting to donate

Most of them are bell ends

Lot of Butt hurt going on here. In reality, the only thing some car drivers hate about cyclists, is that the cyclist may get where they are going faster than the car driver. And how DARE somebody who produces zero polution, take up 1/20th of the space of a car, and rides for free get somewhere before they do. RAGE!!!!!

I thought that the road laws, applied to all users. If there is a red light, they must stop, if there is a zebra crossing with people on it, road users must stop. Either cycle users are bound by the rules of the road, or, they can get on the road and do exactly as they please, which appears to be the current method.

Can you book a cyclist hit man on the dark webb

bicycles should be prohibited

Selfish, Sanctimonious and Untouchable, surely you mean motorists! Come on Mike this a ludicrous exaggerated approach to a serious problem it just makes the perpatrators worse.

Usual BS from TalkTV. I do like how all the cycling footage shows nobody doing anything wrong though. Just ordinary people going about and getting on with their lives.

Daily Mail readers with nothing better to moan about

Not all cyclists speed , I use mine for commuting to work .

Electric bikes have a motor, nothing will be done to them either.

Who's going to pay for this bike licensing scheme that people are calling for? The cost of setting it up and maintaining it will have to be funded somehow. Then there's all the extra staff that would be required. It would be hundreds of millions of pounds a year

Mike Graham complaining about speeding cyclists, what a hypocrite. I can remember not too long ago when he was bragging about doing 90mph in a 50mph zone, i think in Italy, because the authorities didn't seem bothered. Image the consequences if he had killed someone. What about every car that exceeds the Speed Limit in this country. That's a lot more dangerous than being hit by a cyclist. He complains about cyclists doing 25mph+ in a 20mph zone yet he's always advocating for 20mph zones to be put back to 30mph zones. So if he thinks 30mph is safe how come he thinks cyclists doing 25mph is dangerous. He's become a Virtue Signalling Hypocrite

Usual garbage from talk tv

Boo hoo

Red herring alert. The 20 mph speed limit on cars (down from 30 or higher) was introduced is because scientific research demonstrated that the damage a car can do to anything it hits increases almost exponentially the faster it travels. An impact at 20 mph is MUCH less violent and/or likely to cause a fatality than an impact at 30 mph. Etc. Bicycles don't impact other road users with anything close the force of a car, van or bus. In any case, cyclist/pedestrian incidents are fairly rare. Look at the stats for pedestrians injured by cyclists. They are almost non-existant compared to the number of people injured by cars. Or the number of cyclists injured or killed by cars. Or compare this manufactured epidemic to the real epidemic of distracted driving by people playing with their phones? It may be worse than drink driving, which has cost the country untold millions to get under control.

Good, less support for automobiles more support for cyclists cos vehicle drivers are the real danger

Thank god for the Mayor, cycling is safe. They will never introduce registration plates for cycling. Research has shown that it will cost the treasury money, and cycling would decline. Most cyclists are insured through specialist cycling policies. Plus, cycling aligns with our net zero goals... Awesome 👌

They aren’t breaking the law.

Talkbollocks TV talking bollocks as usual.

Also I've noticed when they club together they ride 3 or 4 across an 10 deep an wont move or let anyone past its a road not a training ground

E cycles are unsafe. On insurance. M o t. Number plates. Just more nonsense
