Crazy stuff going on the CS7 last night, so much bad cycling. Saw two crashes caused by people not looking and just moving across other cyclists. Someone ran into the back of me as they hadn't left time to slow down at the lights didn't even bother to say sorry. Someone else barged their way through at a set of lights to get to the front. People riding so close to the back of buses and then being caught out when they stopped.
Lots of people riding in the drops, I asked one girl at the lights why, it was because she couldn't reach the brakes while on the hoods, bike to big then?
Poor girl mashing the pedals and changing gear at the same time saw her chain drop off, so she just walked it across all the other cyclist who had just set off from the light, little RLJing on her part.
Felt really sorry for this one car, they were trying to turn left at a set of lights, no ASL box but they didn't stop everyone surrounding the car and even when it went clear you had the odd cyclist zooming down the left.
Really ashamed to be part of that cluster fu*k, not saying I'm the worlds greatest but I do believe I'm a pretty good road user.
Still hopefully the rain will calm people down.
