Road Rage
The bike are riding two by two
Hurrah hurrah
The bikes are riding two by two
Hurrah hurrah
The bikes are riding two by two
It’s the Highway Code, but I own the road
So Ill just keep driving on
The bikes are now riding three by three
Oh shite oh shite
The bikes are now riding three by three
Oh shite oh shite
The bikes are riding three by three
As i bide my time, I’ll push them aside
So I’ll just keep just driving on
The bikes are now riding four by four
Oh Christ on Christ
The bikes are now riding four by four
Oh Christ oh Christ
The bikes are riding four by four
But one of them has got a besutiful arse
Which I see as I pass
The bikes are now riding five by five
Oh no oh no
The bikes are now riding five by five
Oh no oh no
As I honk and steer but knock one that’s near
But don’t worry hes Alive
There’s a police car now in my rear view mirror
Oh lord Oh lord
There’s a police car now in my rear view mirror
Oh lord oh lord
There’s a police car now in my rear view mirror
I beg and I plead but he won’t concede
So my journey won’t proceed

I cycled here in London (and elsewhere) for much of my ;life.
The essential aspect was the courtesy of keeping as far to the
side of the road as possible at every opportunity and only
in pairs (and upwards) when the conditions clearly allowed.
Unfortunately, that ethos seems to have been overtaken (no pun intended) by the attitude that cyclists in untaxed existence
are entitled to preferment over motorized transport nowadays.
and that sees their behaviour omitting the courtesy and good manners of other times in their politically encouraged sense of "entitlement". Road use is essentially about "common" sense,
and courtesy at any given time. Bloody-mindedness can
ultimately end in something bloody! Who needs that?!
