I had to drive a mile or two up the OKR this morning to leave my car at a garage for a tyre change. Fuck me there are some terrible cyclists around.

Brakeless bmxs are actually ok - a foot jammed between the seatstay and the tyre stops you as quick as a brake, it just fucks up your shoes. Probably easier to stop than a brakeless fixie at least. Doesn't work at all on a single speed road bike, however...

I really hate cyclists who come spinning out of nowhere (side street, exit from a park) and straight onto a Zebra crossing. When my commute ended in Shepherds Bush, this regularly happened at the exit from Lots Road onto the A3220. Now that I work in Croydon, it's a too-frequent occurrence at the exits from Brockwell Park onto Norwood Road.
Get to fuck, you lazy, homicidal pavement warriors. Pedestrians get priority on a zebra crossing. If you want me to give you priority, get off your fucking bike and push. At the very least, slow down so oncoming traffic knows you're about to cut across our path. Of course, if your plan is to cause a serious accident, keep on as you are.

When my commute ended in Shepherds Bush, this regularly happened at the exit from Lots Road onto the A3220.
The pavement between there and Lupus St being marked as NCN 4 (and therefore shared use) doesn't help. The pavement between Battersea and Chelsea bridges is wide enough for bikes and people, but the bits either end are way too thin and actively encourages this fuckwittery.

Pavement cyclists.
there really is no need to be pavement cycling on that stretch of road.

I used to commute on a brakeless BMX!

I was forced to go trough that road a few days ago. Lots of students filtering trough left buses, riding on an off pavement, no lights or anything, rlj... Needs some policing.

It's a mess, a student cyclist was killed by a left turning HGV there last year too.

Did a LOL this morning. I was waiting at the lights at the end of Eastway just before you get to the corner of Victoria Park when some nitwit with a red trailer rolls through the reds without a care. A pregnant woman was crossing the road from the left who he obviously didn't see or care about. At the same time from the other side of the junction from Hackney Wick towards Hackney a courier/on here type rolls through reds and up onto the pavement to avoid the traffic jam up the road that's always there in the mornings.
I wait for another 10 or so seconds for the lights to change and as I roll through I see that both these silly cunts have been stopped by a police officer who is writing a ticket. I had a good point and laugh at them, they heard me as they all looked at me while I was doing it. I high fived a motorcyclist who was waiting at the lights with me further down the road.

Some roadie speedster pissed me off on way home tonight by overtaking and cutting across me as I was going around a parked car. Hazard bonus double pointer because a dirty great concrete lorry was passing us both at the same time. Caught up at next set of lights and pointed out error of his ways. He blamed the trucker for "pulling across him". No you fucking plank, YOU caused the problem by failing to tuck in behind until it was safe to overtake! Is bad enough dealing with motor traffic without selfish bollockhead lycra tart wannabe time triallists acting like entitled pricks.

people who jump the kerbs, jump red lights and ride around with iPods so you can’t hear the rest of the traffic. You would not do that in a car so why would you on a bike?
Thank goodness loud music from cars isn't common.

Or red light jumping.
Or parking on kerbs blocking the footpath.
Or killing peds by going on the kerb.
...oh.
Too many close calls to keep count of tonight.
Lots of awful behaviour, something in the air.
