This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Dear roadie/mtbiker on the cycle-speedcircuit-lane-path thing going northbound just past blackfriars bridge at 4.45pm'ish today.

You overtook me into a group of peds who stepped out into the cycle-speedcircuit-path-lane-thing. The reason why I was slowing down was to allow myself time to react to whatever decision the peds made when I was shouting I at them to "look out". You scared the shit out of them by screaming and braking suddenly infront of them causing them to react in an unpredictable manner. Forcing me to take the pavement to clear them safely. You then had the cheek to try and lecture me about riding brakeless when I caught up with you coming up towards ludgate hill, saying something like;

"oh I know its cool nowadays to ride without brakes and what not, but
you should get a front brake, or two maybe.. then saying something
about safety etc.." I replied with a subtle, "I've been alright so
far.."

You, Sir, can DO ONE.

You should teach yourself how to anticipate, ride with a better sense of awareness and not ride like your in a fucking roadiedouchebag version of MA$H or Wacafraka or whatever its called. What makes it even worse is you failed to gain enough speed on your shitty panniered thing to clear the lights turning onto fleet street, jumping a red directly into peds. Use your head, your gears and check yourself before you chat waffle.

You were riding a mtb frame thing, framebuilders name was double-barrelled, panniers, risers etc.

It wouldn't surprise me if you was on here..
