Epic fail

I think First are about to receive a very well worded letter regarding the conduct of their drivers.

Don't bother, even with a video first do fuck all.

Bus driver passes too close to a cyclist and then takes a picture and boasts about it on social media. His bus driver friends join in.

Epic fails evident:

1. Poor Driving.
   
2. Using a mobile phone.
   
3. Bus driver mates chatting shit.
   
4. All get banged by employer when complaint arrives.
   

Dunno if anything will happen, I looked them up on Facebook, that Eamonn bloke is a conductor and thick as shit, they all are. Otherwise he probably wouldn't fantasise about killing people at work on social media I guess.

I'm following the story so I'll report back.

I know that stretch of road. The cycle lane isn't finished yet and still has raised manhole covers along it. You don't have any choice but to cycle on the road at the moment.

That's probably a 72 bus if it has a conductor on it. They are the bendy bus type.

And you would always have a choice anyway.

What a nasty thing to say, particularly on the internet.

Probably illegal isn't it? Maybe an actionable death threat would have to be more personally directed.

I bought one of these.
I knocked part of my front wall down and layed a concrete base so it can open into the street and is perfectly level.
I bolted it to the floor with special security type concrete bolts.
I bought a Sheffield stand and fixed it inside so I could double lock my bikes to something immovable, just in case anyone got in.

I loaded all my bikes in and shackled them all up inside and closed the door.
Then the lock broke.

I own a high security bike safe, which holds all of my bikes, which I can't open.
FML.

Oh dear :(

A locksmith should be able to sort it though

Fuck locksmithery...
I just paid £350 for this thing, and the lock has had a key turned in it three times.

I'm on the blower to the manufacturers first thing and they can get it sorted.

Did a similar thing with an Abus steel-o-flex. First time I used it the key snapped inside the lock so couldn't get it open. Had to call an emergency locksmith for £100+ to cut it. Emailed wiggle the next day, and after a lot of email tennis and me posting the lock back at my own cost, their conclusion was that nothing was wrong with it, and even if it was, the warranty covers the lock, not the key...

What did Abus say about it?

Wiggle referred to Abus so assume they were in touch about it. Tbh I had enough after a few weeks of email tennis that made zero sense, so I got a NY Fahg instead and moved on

Could have cut that yourself.

Of course, but it was 11pm outside a pub off City Road so not a good time to leave the bike to source an angle grinder

the warranty covers the lock, not the key...

lol...

fuck the warranty...means nothing. They have to follow the law.

Wish I'd knew that at the time. Live and learn.

Are you an LSF fixeh rider Mr_Sworld?
