  • Utter bellend heading West on the Tavistock cycle track. Coming up to Woburn place the lights are red. This idiot takes to the pavement, crosses the ped crossing on a red and gets caught up on the corner.

    Lights go green for me and a few cyclists following and the timing works out that I'm running parallel with him just coming up to the next set of lights but he is still on the path.

    At this next set of lights he pulls an abrupt right angle off the pavement into the cycle track missing my rear wheel by an inch and forcing the cyclist behind me to emergency stop. I could just make out the look of shock in his eyes that there were other people on the planet and was about to crash...

  • Bellend wearing a green cycle helmet London Bridge, Tooley Street crossing, dinging his bell while ride through the peds who were crossing the road on a green man. Had plenty of time to stop just can't be bothered.

  • I think I'm going to start ostentatiously stretching at traffic lights to surprise those bellends who seem to think that the 12" gap between myself and the bike to my left is just the right size to sprint through at top speed as the lights change and everyone sets off.

  • ah the old stretch-n-kidney-punch

  • ^^Not sure that'll stop some of them. On Friday morning, I had some idiot on a squeaky, old MTB limbo under my arm when I was signalling to turn left!

  • just look behind more and scream "NO!" at the top of your voice if they tried to undertake you.

  • 'Dickhead' bellowed loudly at the sack of warm cockwash who barged through a non-existent gap between me and a taxi who were all moving at a fair clip along Guildford St towards Russell Square this morning. I had a lot more to say, if you hadn't have RLJ'd at the next jhunction.

  • I have done a turning-signal-accidental-face-slap before. It was genuinely accidental on my part but their fault.

  • Road forks with right lane turning. Stop light with ASL. I approach bicycle entry point filtering down stopped traffic, traffic starts to move so indicate right to show that I am going right along with traffic. Clothes-lined a scooter rider who was cutting into the cycle lane to squeeze between me and a bus. Glorious.

  • CS7, it's like a sewer for shit cyclists.

    My favourite was the guy who kept jumping red lights and then each time I rode past him he would ride far to close to me, halfwheeling on my inside. It culminated when a vehicle in front signalled it was turning left, I pulled out around the vehicle and he ploughed into to. He actually did not look too surprised when I pointed out he had been riding like a nob and deserved it.

    the sunshine has brought them all out today. looks like i'm going to have to start leaving at 6.30 instead of 7am for a 9am start just to not have these idiots endanger my life.

  • Saw two very moronic acts of cycling yesterday. I was waiting at the lights on Brook Street on the right to turn into Bond Street, there was a coach in the middle lane and the lights were just about to go green when a tour group of about 15 cyclists snaked up the left hand side of the coach and then proceeded to cycle across the front of the coach as if they were crossing the road. The fucking light is green and the coach is obvs going to start moving you utter pricks.

    A few minutes later I got stuck behind a rubbish truck (they always smell of puke) but then decided to stay there as I wanted to go along the little bike path bit where new bond street meets clifford street and the truck would need to turn left. Another cyclist went up the left hand side of the truck and then at the junction decided he too wanted to go up the little bike path and tried to turn right as the truck was turning left into him. Thankfully mr rubbish truck saw him and put the brakes on. Fucking morons.

  • I'd be hard pushed to ever be able to draft a rubbish truck. Fuck that. I'd be sick.

  • Can't open it

  • Cunts, everywhere.

  • I had to take the tube today. Quit your whinging, y'all. Whatever happened, it was better 'up there'.

  • Stood on a busy traffic island in Victoria taking the kids to school. Chapeau to the cyclist who mounted the pavement, pushed me out of his path, shouting "out of my way" and proceeded to weave between other pedestrians on the pavement. Lost for words.

  • Actions speak louder than words, either clothesline them or grab their brakes.

    I'd be inclined to hang about at that very spot the same time tomorrow...

  • Far too many to mention this morning,

    MTB man getting most annoyed at my over taking of him and then my stopping at red lights.
    Same MTB man trying to overtake a car turning right while he was on the outside and wanting to go left.
    Women on Brixton Rd/Kennington Park Road who was just weaving in and out of the traffic without a care in the world, also then started to ride on the white line in the middle of the road causing the drivers behind to get slightly angry only for her to then pull right across the road in front of the bus.
    Dude in full Sky kit, just being in his order world and having no idea about other cyclist just pulling across the road without looking behind causing a number of us to have swerve, also making his way to infront of all the other waiting cyclist at the lights.
    And todays king Knob was bloke on a Boris Bike who RJL'ed most of the lights from E&C to London Bridge who then decide he was quicker then the scaffolding lorry that was just about to left and he could make that invisbale gap between lorry and pavement only for it not to turn out that way, honestly thought he was going to get squised. Luckliy for him the lorry driver stopped, didn't stop the Boris biker giving him a load of grief.

    I like Tube days. Sleep in, chill out, grab a coffee, read a book. Time flies.

  • It's the sun. It brings out the Tropic Thunder Full Retard™ in everyone.

    Ban the sun. Who's with me?

  • I'm beginning to sit in a puddle of ball soup when I get to work now unless I cool off in the server room for a few minutes. Say no to sun.

  • When winter, wish for sun. Sun emerges, quickly wish for winter again! Fucking cyclists.

  • I need to start leaving for work 30 mins early just to have time to stop sweating once I get there, it's grim.
