  • ihatelaw seriously there have been times when i've crashed myself to avoid hitting people in this manner and had to restrain myself from hitting them and i'm completely not a violent guy!

    where do u think the worst place in london is for these incidents and at what time? (charing cross road of a Friday night, 7pm/waterloo road by the station at the same time, I would say

    ox ford st, between marble arch and oxford circus. never ride there, i did it 4 times, hit 4 peds, all their fault. let them all go, and had to buy an new wheel and new forks for my troubles.

    any where on oxford st at rush hour. i was riding fast with a green light, a ped walked out into my gap, there was a stopped buss in my lane against the curb, that big thing of concrete and rails where the lights are and a van on coming fast, as i aimed for the gap and yelled, he kept walking, pushing me in front of the van and i reached him as he stepped into the vans path, there was no way it could stop and he was in my gap, i had a choice, ped, van, or bus. naturally i chose the softest of the three and anticipating the impact i used my shoulders to push him left, out of the way of the on coming van, and out of the gap, i turned into the gap, the van almost catching my back wheel.i looked over my shoulder and the guy had fallen, didnt look bad. he was probably off to the pub to tell his mate about the crazy cyclist who pushed him over. if it hadn't been for me his mates would have been drinking in his memory, and it would have been one messy van.
