Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

I was waiting for him to turn up! What a grade A*/9 plum.

WAfC

What a top bell piece

"Its ok if you wanna do it but if I don't, shut your fucking mouth" Absolutely brilliant response.

tbh i thought was you going by the still.

Well I am a bellend and I have been on here before

Yeah, I spotted this one on reddit and was waiting for it to turn up here.

Proper tool.

do we have a name yet? lets get him sacked!
etc

Who started a witch hunt? I want to know who started the witch hunt! They should be burned...
etc

lets get him sacked!

is that the one where you dangle their balls through a hole in a board and hit it with a bag of pennies?

I saw that one on a documentary about Roger Moore:

As in La Comédie (In)Humaine?

I saw that, the girl said "But James I need you" and Moore said "Sorry darling, I've got to go and shoot some people in the face". Idris Elba played Moore.

I hear there are ladies who can do this sort of thing for us for a small fee. Apparently.

Link? Asking for a friend

Fucking pavement warriors. Zebra crossings give priority to pedestrians, not cunts on bikes. If you want me to stop for you, get off your fucking bike and walk it.

Totally this.

Do you get the ones with helmets/hi-vis on the pavement too? Much lulz.

^this and ^^ this!!! So much this!

My favourite bit of pavement-warriorship happens at the top of Kennington Park Road, just where it turns into Newington Butts (northbound).

It's often the case that there's no space to filter between a bus in the bus lane and the rest of the traffic, so every cycle of the lights there are a few twats that decide to MGIF on the pavement.

I give mental bonus points to anyone getting caught on the pavement as the lights go green again, and consequently having to perch there waiting for the bus to move past so they can hop back into the road at the same position they would have been in if they'd just sat behind the bus with the rest of us...

Apart from the one by Lots Rd/Cremorne Rd, which is signed (strangely) as a shared path, and usually much faster than turning right from Lots Rd onto the embankment.

Doubt it's supposed to give priority to cyclists as well as pedestrians, but plenty of people are either willing to give way or uncertain enough to slow down.

(Obviously I don't assume someone's letting me out until they stop or slow, but they're much more likely to there than at the road junction, for some reason).

Oh, so there's some marginal excuse for the wankery I used to encounter on that stretch of road when I worked in Shepherds Bush? I'm still going to hate the tossers who would appear out of the blue and think the traffic would just stop while they zipped across the road.

Apart from the one by Lots Rd/Cremorne Rd, which is signed (strangely) as a shared path, and usually much faster than turning right from Lots Rd onto the embankment.

The crossing isn't part of NCN4. The NCN4 arrow directs you along the pavement next to the river as that section is a shared use path (although too narrow to use if you want to make good progress):-

I'm pretty sure cyclists are allowed to use zebra crossings without dismounting if both sides have a cycle path/ shared use path on

I always wondered how that was intended to be used - does NCN4 stay on the pavement up to that nasty courtesy crossing at Battersea Bridge?

Anyway, people on Cremorne Road really are much more likely to let you out to turn right there, than at the junction with Lots Road, which is nice.

I'm pretty sure cyclists are allowed to use zebra crossings without dismounting if both sides have a cycle path/ shared use path on

Cyclists are allowed to use zebra crossings but the point is whether (AIUI) cars are required to stop for cyclists who are riding (or even sitting upon) their bikes and want to use the crossing. I don't believe they are.

Car drivers would not be aware of whether there is a cycle/shared-use path either side of the crossing so I think that is a red herring.

The Crank vs Brooks court case shows that someone wishing to use the crossing and just happens to be pushing a bike should be treated as a pedestrian. (But such a ruling does not tell us anything about people who are riding their bikes at the time.)

The only certainty is that riding along and attempting to swing onto a zebra crossing and expecting all motor vehicles to stop and give way is a very risky strategy.
