Cost of obesity to NZ taxpayers per year – over 1 billion dollars and rising, Deaths: 3500
Cost of bike accident victims to NZ taxpayers per year – unknown, Deaths: 7

Yeah those pesky cyclists. Taking up all your health dollars with their riding all about the countryside getting in your way, causing you to get to your destination 1 minute later .

I don’t know what’s the matter with people. Or perhaps I do.

I come across cyclists in groups, especially during the weekends, on country roads. I slow down, almost to a standstill if necessary, and give them a wide berth. I don’t care about the inconvenience. I don’t want to be responsible for killing a cyclist.

I don’t fucking care about the rights and wrongs or the legal niceties.

That’s the lesson we should be teaching. Don’t kill people unless you mean to.

I am just appalled at the way some motorists pass cyclists. Brainless.

Dennis, its called courtesy. Some people have it and apply it on the roads, others simply don’t and see everyone else as being in the way of them and their destination. As a cyclist myself I always give them a wide berth when I can and am ever aware when I see children/teenagers on the road that they don’t have the spatial awareness that we as long term car/truck/tractor/bike drivers do. Reid’s attitude towards cyclists makes him sound like an asshole on the road, one mistake away from killing someone due to general intolerance and flippancy about anyone else on the road except himself. But thats okay because “Road Maggots”.

Hey Reid,

What cyclists would like drivers to know

Cycles are small and can be difficult to see, especially at night. Don’t just look for car-sized vehicles.
Cyclists can feel threatened by inconsiderate driving. Cyclists have a right to space on the road and need extra room at intersections and roundabouts.
Cyclists may ride away from the kerb or occupy a lane – not because they want to annoy drivers, but to:
avoid drains, potholes or roadside rubbish
be seen as they come up to intersections with side roads
discourage drivers from squeezing past where it’s too narrow.

http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/roadcode/about-other-road-users/sharing-road-with-cyclists.html

If you’re a cyclist, you’re not entitled to use the road where and when a car is using it. This is not just part of the law, it’s also part of common sense, because metal is harder than your soft and squishy bits.
You’re full of it.

Sorry my obesity data was circa 2007. Obesity now kills 11 THOUSAND people per year with all the associated health costs. Imagine if those 11 thousand had all ridden a bike once weekly. What would the savings to our taxes be? The bike death data was 2014 and that was a spike of 100% on previous years.

Agentballsack;
Whether you are an obese couch potato or a fit and healthy cyclist; there is one total certainty;
You are all going to die some time.
The obese people will die sooner and save us a fortune in Superannuation and rest care subsidies.
The cyclists will cost us a fortune in superannuation and rest care subsidies, as their healthy lifestyle prolongs their lives.
The obese one, being too lazy to walk, will spend heaps on car rego and petrol excise duties.
The cyclist will spend zip zero nothing on bike rego and fuel excise duties.
Who’s the bludger in this scenario?

In yesterday’s GD Penny asked this question: ‘How is it right for the Prime Minister of New Zealand to openly hold shares in ANY company?’

I take that to mean that Penny thinks it is wrong for the PM to openly hold shares in any company, which means she thinks he should secretly hold shares in any company….

Now, I for one am a little confused, I thought Penny was in favour of transparency, yet here she is quite against the transparency of the PM, and seemingly advocating for secrecy.

Personally, I am in favour of the PM openly holding shares, as opposed to secretly holding shares as Penny appears to be in favour of.

Tauhei, they may die earlier but they start sucking up the health dollars a lot earlier than you average citizen too. They also contribute less to tax and use more due to not being able to lead productive full lives. Obesity costs this country billions of dollars in health care. And you pay for it whether you are obese or not.

@Tauhei Notts,
you make a hidden assumption that cyclists do not own cars and hence do not pay rego, excise, GST, etc.

This is plainly wrong. Many of the office worker type cyclists simply cannot park at their offices, or find the salary trade off for a park unacceptable.

wellygirl,
As I understand it the Prime Minister’s shares and other investment assets have been placed into a trust which is managed on an arms length basis by its trustees. The intention is to separate the Prime Minister from the management of those assets and avoid conflicts of interest.
I don’t think Penny would understand the distinction.

The cyclist’s account of what happened seems to be at variance with what was observed by the traffic cop.

At his hearing the JPs stated that he had at least two opportunities to allow the van to pass but he didn’t let them pass.

Re: Cyclist

Thought I would throw this in the mix, Never been a road cyclist but any years as a motorcyclist, when on a bike I always ride with thought that every single one of you in cars were stupid pricks who would try and kill me, I was expecting you to do something outrageously dumb that would lead to my demise.
I knew I had a right to use the road but self preservation dictated that I would rather be cautious and protect my body, not demand my rights.
This where some cyclists puzzle me, you have a right to be on the road, but being 3 abreast on a blind corner is just retarded.

Wellygirl – In yesterday’s GD Penny asked this question: ‘How is it right for the Prime Minister of New Zealand to openly hold shares in ANY company?’

In a similar way, relating to transparency, I wonder about someone indicating they will stand for selection as Auckland Mayor while they owe Auckland Council unpaid rates and arrears, in that Auckland Council in collecting those due rates and penalties is either absolutely fucking inept, or are holding off to avoid any accusations of victimization of a mayoral candidate. It seems Penny Bright is in as much a conflict of interests situation as she accuses the Prime Minister of being.
The Prime Minister in fact, it is understood, has the arrangement of a blind trust.
While Penny Bright unwarrantedly depends on blind trust.

Been reading the roadlice vs roadfunder debate with interest. I’m a bit short on peer reviewed studies but I reckon that nearly twenty years as a truckie & fifty years as a road user allows a man an opinion.

Around town cyclists take their chances…..they are vulnerable but they increase their risk incredibly by totally ignoring the road rules. For some occult reason a presumably clear headed thirty odd YO dons gay lycra, a wanky skid lid, dark glasses & transforms into a superman. This strange creature then not bound by laws of physics, mortality or those humble edicts found in the road code can run lights, weave through traffic & cut off buses with impunity.

Cycle lanes are spurned by Supercyclist who knows his rights better than a State house solo breeder. By contrast the school children, their minds & reasoning processes still half formed can recite the road code backwards & even demonstrate how it works.

Go figure!

Yeah right ! I ‘ve been both a cyclist and a motorist for 30 plus years and that also entitles me to an opinion.

Your point ?

The cyclist I’ve encountered generally observe basic road safety rules just like me. A few niggles but hey those motorists who run red lights . Stop signs , fail to indicate lane changes etc .

Live and let live I say

Who analysed the recording of the cycle camera? To stop a car passing where it is safe for it to do so would require moving into the road and wobbling around; that would be obvious from the recording.

If on the other hand the cyclist moved out into the lane to stop the motorist passing on a blind corner, where it was unsafe, the road code implies he may do so.

Quite often I come upon cyclists I can’t cannot pass safely, so I don’t try and pass. I just swear.

Practically every time I drive I have cars coming towards me on my side of the road, passing a parked car or cyclist. Not one in a hundred or more would have an indicator on. “Something in my way, not my fault, what am I supposed to do?”

The legacy of amateur driver training.

Size rules Stephieboy. A few kilos of an aluminium bike frame & a few hundred dollars worth of dayglo lycra are no match for a 45 ton 18 wheeler.

Generally those with most to lose take the most care…..the bleating would suggest that this rule of thumb doesn’t apply for certain cyclists & I’ve met more than my fair share of them.

nasska. I have a lot of respect and sympathy for truck drivers. I often go over a narrow bridge used by many many heavy rigs, and some must put the wheels on the centre line, I act accordingly. It’s not easy.

It’s the brainless and unthinking car drivers that piss me off. Now I am old I am worried I’ll hit something at a busy intersection at night in the country. There are just so many cars with no lights on. You think you see a break in a stream of heavy traffic and … there’s some clown in a dark-coloured car… idiots. Cops do nothing.

In my days of working for a rural cartage firm the trucks were far less powerful than today yet the loads not that much lighter. Normally I drove a Ford D2418 with a 190hp Cummins which was quite grunty by the standards of the day. Nowadays there’s not much under 450 to 550 bhp doing the same work.

Naturally we did quite a lot of stock work, some involved the Rimutaka Hill road. Getting behind some fool wobbling up the middle of the road on a cycle got very tricky as there were only a few spots where you could pass safely & you had very little power in reserve to do it.

I did however get revenge on occasions. If I had a load of cattle that the cocky hadn’t stood to empty out, the decks were awash with runny cowshit. A deft twitch of the wheel when passing was often enough to slosh a few gallons of effluent over the arrogant clowns.

If the rear vision mirrors afforded the sight of a crap coated cyclist the rest of the day was looking good. 🙂

Lovely way to celebrate a Muslim holiday: http://www.vocativ.com/news/205655/bloody-friday-attacks-france-tunisia-Kuwait/

ISIS extremists celebrated terror attacks today in France, Tunisia and Kuwait, heralding the killings as “Bloody Friday” in discussions across secretive online forums and social media.

“This Friday is a holiday for the Muslims,” one ISIS supporter wrote, while many others used a hashtag praising the “lone wolves” around the world and celebrating the day as “Bloody Friday.”

It’s all propaganda to put the wind up NZ’s so-called closest opposition that theoretically the ABs are meant to dish out 20-30 point winning margin spankings to at the WRC business end.

Stopping to take fan selfies halfway along.

When they get their eight-yearly bogey-hemisphere cream-corning in October we can all triumphantly scream bloody blue murder at the way-past -their-best -old- fart-name- based squad selections.
