Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

That sounds hilarious. I've never heard a more convincing argument for riding with a camera

I love reading all these stories of cycling in London, I hardly ever meet anyone on my morning commutes in Berkshire and Hampshire - maybe the odd dear or rabbit lol

Whats odd about the deer? I'm intrigued.

odd dear

That no way to talk about older ladies

Tall guy on a Cannondale lefty, this morning shouting at the back of a moped rider's head (They were sitting in a bike lane blocking it, but traffic wasn't moving anyway), As the traffic moves he then decides to undertake them, cutting me up in the process, nearly forcing me into a wall just to get along side the moped rider and shout "TWAT" at her as he passes, big man.
He then pulls up to the next lights on the far right hand side and cuts across 2 lanes of about 10-15 other cyclists to turn left when the lights turn.

Twat/10

Yes they prefer the term 'biddy' I believe

Heat makes people crazy I swear

Can you ID via Strava flyby? :)

Forget the cyclists, today was all about the car drivers. Bloody hell.

Also, wobblers.

Shout out to the fixie skidder n/b on Newington Causeway, who rightfully pointed out the futility of a car behind beeping him just to get a to a red light 5 seconds quicker. Then proceeded to level things out by RLJing the rest of the way up through Borough.

Brake checks are for cunts

Trufax. My objection to people riding too close is that they might slam into the back of me if I need to brake hard suddenly. Intentionally causing it doesn't make much sense.

slow down gently and let them past so you don't have to be near them

Did this last week, coming to a complete stop.

As did the person behind me.

Cue plenty of agonisingly middle-aged, middle-class "aggro".

I was pondering a while back just how much further the braking distance of the bike that was trying to draft me was compared to mine.

It was pissing it down with rain, I was on a MTB with disc brakes and 2" tyres, he was on a brakeless fixed with 23s or similar.

My non-scientific estimate was at least eight times, I also did the gradual slowing down until they went past me at a crawl technique.

Lifetime ban after horse hit at Windsor triathlon

Is that the same incident that people were talking about a while ago?

Yep, this one. https://www.lfgss.com/comments/14284252/

Cheers. Idiots.

There's a foreign bike in my hallway. A friend of one of my housemate rides a rather pretty beater bike - but it's a SS with only a front brake.

Housemate's boyfriend has already had a blazing row with this dude about faith healing, so I'm not going to rock the boat.

Edit: on closer inspection the one existing brake looks pretty ropey. Proper death trap bike.

There's a foreign bike in my hallway.

You got anything against foreign bikes mate? Typical...

I didn't vote Brexit so that foreign bikes could clutter up my hallway.

They need us more than we need them.

Maybe you could faith heal the front brake?

A van and I stopped on Hanley Road to let a mother and her kid use the crossing; as I was moving off a guy undertook me at speed with about 20cm between us then immediately chopped in front of me. He was wearing big headphones so I couldn't even yell at him but I was determined to catch up with him at the junction and tell him he was a wanker (I almost always try to avoid confrontation with other cyclists, but this was beyond the pale). Sadly he swung off to the right when I needed to go left and I thought actively following him would move me over from 'righteous indignation' to 'crazy person'.

I once hit a parked car with me at full speed whilst trying to adjust my front brake on my paper round. Properly sprawled up the bonnet.
Good ol' Daewoo mtb didn't bat an eyelid.

Guy on a fixed Peugeot conversion riding about 1 ft behind a bus in Dulwich Village this morning. Darwinian score increased by riding on bullhorns with single cross-top brake lever in centre of bars. Bonus points for no foot retention and generally riding like he was on the limit. Suspect the error of his ways will become apparent in the not-too-distant-future.

Anyone got kindle unlimited? Be interested to read this but not chucking coins their way.

Ach, it'll just be the usual frothing arse-bilge; I wouldn't give him the clicks.

Manksy says the things (and in no uncertain terms) what we're all thinking

First of all, no he doesn't, and secondly, any one who claims that is a cunt.
