Cyclists on mobile phones

[Frijj]

Is this legal?

 

[little e]

Not if they're on the road

 

[wigwams]

Supporting the Arctic Monkeys up coming tour aren't they?

 

[Napoleon Dynamite]

The ones who drink cans of lager are just as bad mind

Usually strong polish shit or scrumpy cider anarl

Can’t be safe

 

[Kevj]

Nowt better than doing no hands and talking a call.

 

[James]

Yes, but you could get fined for careless cycling if you are being a tit.

You're unlikely to get anyone doing that if it is going to put them in immediate danger though. On a residential street when you're pottering along at 6/7mph is the only time I've seen it.

I’d just like to have parity amongst all road users. I posted this thread because I’ve just seen someone doing it whilst cycling down the high street.

If it’s considered a dangerous distraction on a car, surely it should be the same for other road users. A cyclist texting or calling someone is cycling with one hand and is distracted. That could cause an accident.

Likewise, I believe Hawaii brought in a law that you couldn’t use your phone whilst crossing the road. Makes sense to me. Apparently people aren’t looking up and just crossing.

Pottering along? That's flat out at my age.

Almost as daft as both cyclists and drivers having earphones stuck in so they cant hear anything

Should’ve flying kicked him off his bike and told him he should’ve been looking where he was going. You’re entitled to practice your flying kicks wherever you want.

 

[What A Waster]

Cyclists should be banned.

I agree with you on this one.

i often take photos while i'm riding, like sunsets etc... easy to do on a bike on a straight rode.

Is it easier than spelling Road?

 

[Frijj]

Is it easier than spelling Road?

Is it easier than not misusing proper nouns?

Cycling arrogance at its finest.
