Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

Point taken it's not really the right thread - although it got the requisite attention so hope you see why I posted here. I'll edit my posts and we can chat on DM.

I was hoping for more beef.

"this little piggy had roast beef"

DM'd you @Bainbridge

I'm 99% sure it was me BTW if it happened on that corner

Nick can take the heat though

He’s a big boy.

Or so I heard.

Included you now (I think)

You've seen me enough times in lycra, I'm sure you can make up your own mind

Had anyone in that group been drinking?

I know we hadn't.

I'd had half a wrap of speed and smoked three bongs of Charis. If you'd known would it have given you license to cut me up even closer?

What the actual fuck is this comment?

Or maybe you meant that we deserved it?

What am I missing here?

And the beef reignites.

Same goes for you Matt, if you'd like to have a discussion about last night I suggest we go to PM.

Take it to the streets

Nah, different beef innit? Not about your (or Dov's) riding, more about your bullshit defensive, victim blaming comment.

LFGSS, the friendliest shit pit on the internet.

Also, what's wrong with riding drunk? I have very fond memories of doing exactly that.

There was some bad driving, everyone riding made on the fly adjustments. Some people got cut up but the alternative in that situation is unthinkable.
In a perfect world this wouldn't have happened but hey, it did. Dov and I could have ridden in a more circumspect manner, I accept that.

I know I will ride in a different way if the same situation occurs in the future, and part of that is knowing that some riders may have had a drink.

OK. Thanks.

FYI, in case you ever need to factor it in, I don't drink. But I am a twat. Not sure how that balances out.

Happy riding.

three bongs of Charis

is this a robin hobb reference?!

God im out of touch haha. In robin hobb books the characters chew charis seeds as what is described as basically speed!

Robin Hobb appreciation fist bump 👊

Just finished the final one - balled my eyes out!

Near Waterloo today. A corduroy-sporting cyclist pedalled furiously out of a side road in front of me without looking and rode diagonally across two lanes of traffic with similar gay abandon.

Oblivious to screeching brakes and honking horns, he proceeded flat out through a red light, diagonally across the junction and up the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic.

I almost admired the utter lack of fucks he gave.
