Rode the length of the East-West Cycle Superhighway eastbound on the ESB at evening rush hour.
I thought this thread would be on fire right about now.

At first I lolled, then I thought, "Great! more fuel to the 'compulsory cycling test' brigade."

Obviously can't know the circumstances but I have had a few problems with peds recently on shared paths and even the road and when I've raised the issues I've found it them that over-react. I had a chap standing in the middle of a (quiet) one-way street, on his mobile phone and looking upwards towards presumably who he was in conversation with. I pick a line around him only for him to move backwards, so I adjust the line only for him to turn and see me and do the worst fucking thing possible: stop dead in my path. I brake and swerve and throw a hand up and say 'this is a road mate' only to get a volley of grief as I roll away. I've also had peds eyeball me, eyes meeting as I swoop down and for them to simply step out in front of me anyway.
Sorry bad peds thread >>>>>>>

Me too. I think they know they've been a bit silly, and their instant reaction to that, combined with a bit of shock, is to get defensive.

Just riding through Water Lane in Brixton this morning female cyclist in front, van coming towards us on their side of the road, it's quite a narrow bit of road so the van is near the middle of the road but not causing any danger to us, as the cyclist gets closer to van she gives them the middle finger calls them a C*unt and bangs on the side of the van, absolutely no reason to do so as we weren't in any danger. She then hops on the pavement because it was quicker then waiting at the red lights. Was dumbstruck but he whole thing.

'I'll prove this guys a douche by trying to do exactly what he does'
que?
I stopped watching it once his competitive motives became clear
"The only time when I might be able to gain an advantage over him..."Poor lad
Erm as for bad cyclists, a guy tried racing past me on a very narrow bit of canal from behind. Tbh I heard his bell but thought it was my mate warning people in front (he was behind me too) and didn't dare look back I held my line, peds went to right up the way, dude gives me an Armstrong over-the-shoulder glare as he came past, close.

I was weighing up for a bit between this and spotted thread.

I got one! I don't get many sooo...
Riding down Denmark Street which is below Park Street in Brizzle. There's a road that slopes down connecting the two at one point. I was coming from the right, and the cyclist coasting down the slope was looking left, despite the give way markings at the end. I had just had a woman almost walk into me, and both she and me watched with fascination as this chap continued to look left (where no traffic can come from as its one way) and was completely oblivious to the fact he was about to plow into me. I shouted at him and he finally spotted me, the lady shrieked, he jammed on his brakes, skidded and swerved and managed to avoid me. I gave him an annoyed 'come on mate' as in WTF are you doing, and he apologised about three times as I cycled off.
Honestly though, fucking head in the clouds. Who on earth approached and goes over a junction without even looking right, he was completely unaware of me until I shouted.

Ffs Lucas Brunelle is such a staggering prick, why do people love him so much?
-
• #13221
Wow. What a colossal douchecanoe. And he even has "pique" written across his jersey.
-
• #13222
Haha my reply in the comments calling him out ended up as top comment so he pinned a comment from someone calling the club 'pussies' so mine wouldn't be at the top.
Lucas Brunelle must be what, 50-odd? I wonder how pathetic his life is outside of riding.
EDIT: Just looked up his wiki page as I was curious what he does outside of his videos and apparently he's got incredibly wealthy parents.

Older chap on a raw Enigma riding down Kings Road this morning. If you're on here, you're a grade A twat pal. Riding through zebra crossings that had people already crossing on, Riding down the pavement to get around a pulled in bus, overtaking a right indicating truck. You are not a fast cyclist, these moves aren't getting you anywhere quicker. HTFU, ride faster and stop when you should stop, wait when you should wait.

More an observation than a call out, but the overwhelming majority in Abbruzzo (Italy) ride without lights even in pitch black night time.
Seen on the Regents Canal path, recently
