Should cargobikers and pedicabers be shot?

I think yes, they take up too much room on the road, and don't let real cyclists past, in fact i had to pull one back the other day to get through a gap.

disscuss.

pedi cabs are frightening.. cargo bikes have my respect however.

i want to say right now that mary should not be shot, as she is american and therefor free.

One 'pedicaber' I wouldn't pick a fight with:

I'm a cycling activist and think that all bikes are good Blah blah blah blah.

Oh, Chris... You are funny... :D

its the "Buffalo Bill" option.

the rickshaws ('pedicabs'???) are a bit slow. But I like them for that, they slow all those cunting cabs down.

I too like cargo bikes. I think they're kinda cool and I'd probably buy one if I wasn't so broke. I do buy a lot of shit though...

chris have you been eating "jello" this morning or something?

there's a frenzied, Puck-like mischief to your words this a.m. my Yank-fuck friend.

Pedicabs/rickshaws are mildly annoying but they're too slow to really bother me. It's the lazy pricks sat in the back that bother me more. Walk you lazy bitches!

dont mind them. i think buses, cars and cabs are bigger and slower*

*in west end where pedicabs roam

When I first saw pedi cabs I thought they were a great idea. Having used the road with them I am no longer so favourable as they genereally seem to be ridden by/like twats swerving all over the road as they pootle along to make the ride more entertaining for the drunk idiots in the back.
But theres no reason to get rid of them, all other road users act badly a plenty too.

..., in fact i had to pull one back the other day to get through a gap.

so there was no gap. You had to shove someone out of the way to make a gap for yourself because you are so fucking important that you deserve free reign of the road.

basically yes.

i was tired of being stuck behind him going up hill with his weaving, and slamming on the brakes, so i decided he could toe me for a bit, while i practiced skidding, to get the point across. surprisingly he let me through instead of blocking the middle of the road with his huge cab after a seccond.

Speak to them in Spanish, they'll smile and let you through. I love pedicabs because they make me feel so fast when I go by.

Chris, you're the BMW driver of the bike world.

Is this the cyclist version of complaining about speed cameras and the congestion tax? I think it may be.

I can't believe I'm posting on this thread...

Anyway, pedicabs before actual cabs any day of the week.

no those are complaints about RLJing and helmet threads, we all know that.

No. Because when they start banning one type of bike what's to stop them from banning others?

Mr Crash I think that you are familiar with the link to the "slippery slope" argument.

I like the rickshaws. Where would I be without someone to yell at and get all righteous about? The fact that they're mainly driven by Spanish/Australian/Other travelers makes it doubly fun.

do you mean the fallacy of the slippery slope?

yeah get rid of all cargo bikes....more white vans on the road.....you like that shit huh?!!!!

Got cut up by one yesterday who pulled out on to great portland without looking, he was a fucker.

Generally they are great. More often than not they create space for a cyclist to pass, what with being at least a bikes width smaller than a lane whilst still not being able to shoot gaps.

I'd still like to see if they'd be willing to take me back to wimbledon and how much it would cost... on and if they'd let me pedal part of the way. Imagine going down hill on one of them?!

yes, you know what they are about, you don't with the pedicabs who swerve all over the shop, and block the entrances to side streets so they can eat sandwiches.

also note i have driven both and honestly think there is no room for them in london.
