Is it easier than spelling Road?
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.
A distracted cyclist is likely to knack themselves though, whereas a distracted car driver is likely to seriously injure or kill someone with zero harm to themselves. The dangers are proportional.
I don't condone this btw, I've only ever used my phone on side streets when there's no one about and I'm not travelling at any sort of pace. You're taking a risk to be doing anything other than be paying full attention to drivers not looking, car doors opening, potholes etc.
I’ll just bring @Dave Herbal into this...
Is this legal?
What about horse riders using mobile phones , frequently seen around my areaIs this legal?
i saw a kid riding to the comp on Mill Lane in Hebburn... he was on a MTB, no cycling helmet, texting away with both hands on the mobilephone...you need to be able to pull both breaks and have full control of your steering. You can't do that with a phone in your hand.
i'll admit to having taken the odd photo or three whilst riding...can't imagine wanting or needing to use the phone while out riding.
Hate to see cyclist with headphones on generally.
They are the most vulnerable vehicle on the road, why would they choose to cut off one of their senses!

Strava?One of the great things about being out on the bike is the peace and solitude. Why the fuck would anyone take a phone.
