Richmond Park = Full of tossers

that and our own beloved thread's fault.

The main problem is that the average speed of a motorist tend to hoover around 25mph, which is blindingly obvious when one individual decided to stick to the speed limit causing a tailback.

If anything, people on bicycles already obey the speed limit, even thought it doesn't applied to them.

Well, that sucks!

No, it's akin to a swarm of chubby and inadvisably tightly clad bees invading my picnic and stinging up my croissant.

Shouting "Die son!" as they pass?

That artical writing dude whos face i would like to kick through a moving trispoke is one of the tossers that clog up RP. i say kill everyone!

To be honest, the concentration of tossers actually gets higher the closer you get to Centre Point.

I spend a fair few evenings in summer doing laps there - clockwise, so on the last corner going towards Roehampton gate, the rest of London hoves into view. I found the cars as considerate as they are around Regent's, more aware of cyclists than any other spot in London, and I didn't see too much ill tempered behaviour.

As often is the way, a minority (of both drivers and cyclists) seem to be at the heart of the problem.

And Tom Hodgkinson is trolling - why bother getting worked up, it's so clearly ridiculous, it's not even worth thinking about.

I've started pretending the cars are support vehicles

Note to self - bring peaked cap.

Got completely blinded several time by absolute idiot who insist on turning on their powerful light at max setting and pointing it directly to the moon.

something like this? might stop people overtaking aggressively too

Chooses to ignore the masses of cars that are also exceeding the speed limit in 'no fucking idea' shocker.

It's pitch black, they'll never see that.

Must point out that the park is closed to motor traffic at night time.

WTF is it with people over taking me then to only drive slower than me, and and ruin my descent...I'm not going up the the hill, to then go slowly down the other side, I'm going to hammer it down the other side, douches.

20 speed limit brah!

LOL - I'm going to start doing that too.

Today there was some one in a Fiat Panda, that I over took on the accent of Sawyers Hill, ruining my lap time!

They are also competing in car-strava

Interesting...

But sounds like a sum total of fuck all will come of it, which suits me, it's not that broken really.

^ this sums up politics

Very cynical view... but I expect no less from this forum.

Since April, 126 speeding motor vehicles have been caught. Av speed 38mph, highest 56. A few gasps there.

All wheeled vehicles are subject to 20mph speed limit in RP - Sgt Michael Bolton. He's head of policing in the park.

We've found that cyclists are only speeding on the downhills - Simon Richards of Royal Parks

Tickets issued for cyclists RLJing in Kingston were quite low - borough commander
