Peds!

As much as I'd like to be part of this 'peds / buses / take your pick are wankers' brigade, I can't do it. Maybe the commute route I'm on happens to be a particularly good one...although given that it's right through the middle of Kings Cross and down Farringdon Rd, I don't think that's it. It's so rare that I come across the 'others' being fools...in fact, I typically get so much more angry at my fellow cycling folk.

The chronic splurge of frustration I see against non-cyclists here makes me think either i) maybe I've just been lucky so far and my time will surely come, or ii) maybe there are some really bad cyclists posting who just lack basic perception skills.

Cue assault.

I commute through Kings Cross and Farringdon Road every day and the peds there all wait patiently by the side of the roads and never leap out in front of traffic. Ever. The cyclists round there are also uncommonly well-behaved, probably because the complexity of the six lane one-way hellscape road layout discourages bad behaviour.

Your time may never come, and you'll have to commute in some very different places to see it. I recommend Oxford Street or the City for you to perform your experiments.
