  • London is a clusterfuck, and if you would yield for every pedestrian that stepped out, you would never make your destination.

    Definitely agree with this.

    I’d question why did the guy have an airhorn if he wasn’t frequently confronted by lack of awareness by pedestrians when crossing.

    This actually makes me think the opposite - sounds like he could be one of those people with a 'get out of the way' mentality that just doesn't work given the above clusterfuck.

    It's all about finding the right balance.

    Yes, an airhorn is a silly affectation. I remember it being talked about on urbancyclist-uk back in the late 90s/early 2000s, and people found it pretty funny to use one on a pedestrian--ha, ha. That was when many people who posted there were not yet very experienced in cycling politics and etiquette. If someone has one, it shows a lack of knowledge. There's no reason to have one. Improve your riding instead.
