Infirmary Road Tesco - are drivers targeting cyclists?
johnme replied to hicksy3's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
riding on the pavement where theres no cycle path contravenes the highway code does it. try telling that to the hundreds of cyclists that do it everyday of the week. if you put a thread on here saying i was nearly injured by a cyclist riding on pavement you would get a thousand others telling you the same, weather its to cut a left turn or to use a crossing to make a right turn cyclists DO use pavements on a regular basis even on the moor. ever thought thats one of the reasons theres so much friction between drivers and cyclists plus the fact that you use the roads free yet they pay expensive road tax to pay for your tight pockets -

yes i did go , one of my friends picked me up so Erm i didnt hide, her son is in the army so hes not in a posision to protect his mother. wouldnt you be glad if someone was looking after your mum if you was in that position. Yes i do have anger issues when low lifes junkies thats never worked a day in their life think its the norm to frighten a old lady thats on her own. Would you just stand by and let it happen ?:huh:

heard theres one on mushroom lane
-
like your brain you mean, i know shes had trouble and had phoned 101 and had a visit from council and they gave her something to write down times and dates of incidents. because they was outside her front door she was affraid they would overhear her explaining to 101 so she phoned me and said ;they are back; so i told her i would phone on her behalf. when a old lady in her 80s is terrified what do you expect me to do hide behind a keyboard. confession made
-
i aint a keyboard warrior like you but if a old lady living on her own gets terrorised by low life junkies i for 1 aint prepared to sit an a pc and do nothing
-
i live too far away
-
if i wanted to talk to a numpty i would have asked for one . go take your medication
-
NO phoned some friends up that live nearer the lady to go and sort it
