Review of A and B road speed limits

we really need to distinguish between "roadies", "commuter/greenies" and "mountain bikers" here. Roadie racers are tightwads, aloof, self centred egotists who believe they have the right to rule the road, ride three abreast, always wear "out of date Tour de France style team jerseys" and hate all other road users. :D Commuter/greenies are the beardie wierdies who think they are saving the planet, use bright yellow jackets, fluorescent bandoliers, green trousers 20 years out of fashion and trouser clips, usually sporting knackered panniers and wearing polystyrene helmets that don't fit very well. :D Us mountain bikers on the other hand, enjoy cutting up the traffic, chasing roadies, beardie wierdies, transit vans, scooters and badly driven trucks, laughing all the time and basically not giving a flying @@@@ about anyone except ourselves :D We only use roads to get to more dirt anyway. The only good road cyclist is one who stays at home out of harms way :)


Horses - if we drove without insurance, MOT, license to verify competence, brakes, effective steering or adequate control, sihtting in public everywhere we went, how long would we last on the road before being banged up! They should be in fields, glue pots or on French menus! And when they are on the bridleway (which we can use legally) they just cut them up and make them impassible anyway. Sorry, rant over. :D

Mmmmm trying to find which pigeon hole I fit in there Pete with my new found toy. I don't have a beard and am certainly not a veggie!!!
 
I used mine for going to work and back, cheaper and quicker than a car and helped me get fitter. I don't wear lycra shorts etc. I don't have a weird beard. I am definitely a carnivore. So which pidgeon hole am I? No daft answers required!
 
i wouldnt pidgeon hole anybody, you all know me calm relaxed and laid back,but, another bunch that annoy me are the anti hunt brigade they are as bad as the hunters, just dress with less style thats all, and a.l.f and all that lot they need to grow up and live in the real world,and while im at it, terrorists, lets just shoot them out of hand, it would save us a fortune, add to that 4x4 drivers that never ever go off road, people over 75, politicians, orange people, who spend too long on sunbeds,students, taxi drivers, they should be made to wear black masks, so people can see them for the theiving rogues they are, bbc news presenters and anybody who reads the guardian and the daily mail,people who write the sunday post and also its readers.anybody who has ever appeared or wants to appear on big brother,oh i could go on but it might turn into a rant .

does anybody else see these speed limits changes headed by a big word called REVENUE, or is it just me
 
It's all part of the plot, The government want us to buy cars for the jobs involved in the manufacturing, the car tax and the VAT on top of that. Then they want us to insure the car for the tax on the ins., and then the money for the tax disc. Then they try and encourage us to have a 'personal plate' at a cost of £500 straight to the treasury. Then fill it full of petrol and tax us on 75% of that. Then charge us for driving it on some roads Taxing us again if we pass a camera over the limit. Then charge when we stop driving it and park up. Then tell us we are polluting the air and encourage us to leave the car at home and use the bus that pollutes worse than the car. Where will it all end?

gord, don't beat about the bush, spit it out! :D
 
Single carriageway road speed limit 60mph unless clearly stated otherwise by a limit within a round sign.
Dual carriageway (and more lanes) with a barriered central reservation 70mph unless stated otherwise by a limit within a round sign.
Dual carriageways without barriered central reservation 60mph unless stated otherwise by a limit within a round sign.
Round road signs are mandatory, triangular are warning signs. That's the theory anyway. All roads other than urban 30mph and motorways have to have repeater signs.
