I agree Spinster, i also think that education and beating of cyclists who go the wrong way down one way streets or cycle on pavements should be compulsory! Not to mention the halfwits who don't have lights on their bikes at night!

BonfireK - Happy for you to beat cyclists as noted, provided I can use an AK-47 to carry out 'corrective re-education' on:
- Motorists who disregard speed limits;
- Motorists who jump red lights;
- Motorists who fail to indicate left turns;
- Motorists who turn left from right hand lanes and vice versa
- Pedestrians wearing headphones / talking on mobiles who step off the pavement without looking.

I think we should start a new movement for punishing people that are doing wrong! Shall we call ourselves the Police coz they don't seem to be doing anything about crime themselves!

The town centre is definitely too congested. Compare to many areas of the country, people drive pretty carefully in Lewes so I dont know what all the fuss is about.
The reason people cycle against the flow of traffic is because the one-way systems make it awkward, un-safe and considerably further than the incorrect way. A cyclist is a pedestrian on a bike, there is not metal casing around them and no engine. For example; cycle back along Cliffe high street or negotiate the fast multi-lane traffic and roundabouts of the phoenix course way, which would you choose?

Thats typical cyclist logic, you have wheels therefore you are not a pedestrian. So get off the pavement and obey the highway code and one way streets you arrogant person! I'm sure if you got hit by a car while you were going the wrong way down a one way street you would moan like hell and sue. Also if you notice us pedestrians obey traffic lights, one thing you cyclists don't. You are not special, you just can't afford a car, now run along!

- Oh no you don't!
"you just can't afford a car"
- I can afford a very nice car, thank you, I just like cycling!

Actually I have to say, despite the negative comments on here, that for six months or so last year I cycled on roads with my seven year old down to the leisure centre every Saturday morning. Without exception drivers were courteous and patient, not objecting to my riding outside to give him some protection. This definitely wouldn't happen in London! Lewesians are generally a great deal more relaxed and easy going than this forum might suggest.

We regularly cycled with our kids in London and drivers are as courteous there as they are here. There's just more traffic, big red buses and lots more obstacles to negotiate in the smoke, so it's far far scarier.
