• Here comes crappy cliché story of the day!

    Caledonian Rd, yesterday morning @ 8.57am, I'm in a rush to get to work.

    A chappy on a white road bike is riding bladdy fast behind me. In hindsight I think he was in race mode - beat the courier! Up at the north end and prior to the prison, I'm catching some dodgy vibes from his cycling as he impedes on my space and undercuts me when I'm paused at the red light, proceeding in front of the lights so that he couldn't see them change to green. Standard! "This guy's not concentrating", I think. I overtake as the lights flick and hope not to come in contact again.

    Down at the bottom of the hill near the Co-op, I'm pacing it pretty quickly, but I indicate and slow down to let a lady cross at the zebra crossing. Next thing I know, this chap on the white road bike has clipped my rear wheel, slammed on his front brake and is flying head over heels cleated, bike in tow, in the most aggy f**king high speed bike crash I've ever seen! It must've been a double somersault! He'd clearly had his head in the clouds and wasn't watching the roads... I suspect a late one the night before!

    Surprisingly he doesn't start beefing with me, respect, but he gets up and is clearly in shock. No blood visible, others rush to the scene and I make my exit with my lips sealed. Little sympathy from me - learn from your own mistakes mister!
