Selfish Southsea Cyclists - a photo on Flickriver

            Despite having a dedicated 2 way cycle lane alongside the Promenade these selfish cyclists still ignore the signs and cycle 3 abreast along the Promenade where cycling is not permitted for the safety of pedestrians.

Why did I take these photos? 

Because a selfish cyclist actually hit my backpack as he cycled past. 

He was going so fast and was so close to me that the first I knew was that I felt I had been punched hard in the back. The force of the blow actually spun me to one side. 

I never heard him coming and he never even shouted a warning or rang a bell to warn me. He just hit me in the back, wobbled and cycled off.

I was so angry that as well taking some photographs of the pier I then took some random shots of the cyclists who ignore all the warning signs and their dedicated cycle lane 10 feet away, to cycle in the pedestrian only zone.

Ignorant, lazy, selfish people all of them.

The local cyclists campaign for dedicated cycle routes and then chose to ignore using them and cycle where cycling is not permitted.

So here is a selection of the morons cycling in the pedestrian only seafront zone taken whilst I was there to photograph the pier.
