Is it time to stop calling out bad cyclists?
I've got to the stage where people riding like tossers just should be laughed at. Righteous indignation is really fucking yawn. If someone needs to ride on a footway (Old Kent Road anybody?) then let them. If no decent provision / traffic conditions allow people to want to ride on a road, then wtf, why shouldn't they ride on a footway if there's room?
Or jump ahead on a light to get an early start on motor traffic?
Maybe it's not even worth discussing. But I'm so over criticizing people for minor infringements, when I see hgvs at 35mph in a 20mph zone, people in minivans switching lanes into my path with not even a signal, close passing school run cunts, etc etc every day of the week.
Like Corndog once said, everyone on two wheels is a friend, let's quit this didactic competitive roadie 'I'm better than YOU, no YOU'RE a nodder' business.
