Ped hot spots...

Any variations on this?

I usually say something in a loud but caring voice along the lines of "Watch yourself" in their ear.

''Look before you leap!''

A bus driver once decided to open his doors without looking in his mirror and let about a dozen people off the bus as I came hurtling down the curb side. I hit one of them as I was screaming F U C K !!
Managed to unclip and not fall off but it seriously shit me up. I took the dirvers number and reported him to TFL.

side note: I heard about a cyclist recently who hit a ped at full speed, headbutted him in the impact and killed him.
HARSH.

I whisper "Satan"... backwards.

NATAS!!! Does he appear and do a kickflip?

Didn't mention that it was Bishopsgate at rush hour and the bus and I were NOT in a bus lane/stop.

Hit a pedestrian last week in Fulham. I was filtering down the side at a junction and he came running across the road between the cars. Smacked him full on and I hit the deck.

He was apologetic enough, but it fucking hurt. The only damage was a couple of bruises to the leg and a dent in my sunny disposition.

not harsh enough. death's too good for them, scum.

old street / whorexton square. peds crossing the road last night, didn't see me as looking the wrong way. I shouted out, they still didn't see me. As I passed them, i looked back, shouted again, almost stacked in to *another *ped crossing the road looking the wrong way.

Brixton road, been caught off guard by people walking down the bus/cycle lane. For that situation all I could think of was "what the fuck are you doing?!"

Normally I say in a firm but kind tone, "Please look before you cross the road next time!"

I've often said to women (and for some reason it almost always is) "do you realise you just stepped out into the road without looking? you'll cause an accident and hurt someone"

no-one EVER replies, they usually look down and maybe mutter a bit.

fucking cunts.

I hate ignorant fucking cunts. these are the same people that drop litter, drive cars badly and have no interest in anything other than themselves.

Near any major tube station in Central London. Especially round Charing X.

Anywhere a ped is crossing the road and texting !

Stratford one way system. One goes and then they all go. Shouting "I can't dodge you all" doesn't help. w@nkers.

I find that shouting usually induces a strange rabbit in the headlights like trance or a step into exactly the spot you were aiming to miss them.

Still fun though...

Yeah, for me it's around angel, and old st rush hour. If people are clearly not looking, i buzz them as close as I can, and shout just as i'm about an inch from their ear'ole.

i hit a ped this morning in Angel. She stepped out into the ped crossing outside the tube station on Upper St, while i had the green light (and i was followed by a couple of motorbikes and taxis), saw me and did the frozen-rabbit dance for a bit until i plowed into her (luckily at low speed).

managed to unclip in time and i escaped with only a grazed shin from my pedal. asked if she was ok (she was), she said "I'm SOOO sorry!!", and i politely told her to be a bit more careful next time.

so yeah, angel.

NATAS!!! Does he appear and do a kickflip?

YESSSS!!! You got to that one before me. I once saw an interview with Natas' mum who was saying she just liked the name and had no idea why people kept saying he'd been named with that in mind...maybe that was why he always had the cute kittens on his graphics?!

HTFU and take your nappy off, you big baby.

The corner of Berwick and Oxford Streets. Always a good 'un: for some reason they all look the wrong way.

Oh, and the top of Gt Marlborough Street wear it hits Regent. And there are even bloody traffic lights there!

I say castrate them all, personally. Or do that old achilles tendon snip thing. That'll teach the buggers…

tottenham court road, lunch time. and torrington pl/byng pl/tavistock pl, anytime of the day. fucking awful.

Waterloo outside the station in rush hour. As soon as there's a break in the traffic they all start streaming across. Obviously bikes don't count as traffic to them.... So one morning there was a break in traffic, they all start wondering across, but it's still my green light so I sped up and started shouting AARGH MY BRAKES DON'T WORK and looking as manic as i could. It would have worked really well had they all moved back, and most of them did, but some numpty decided for once NOT to follow the crowd so I kind of had to brake a little, which did ruin the effect a touch. Bastard.

I've often said to women (and for some reason it almost always is) "do you realise you just stepped out into the road without looking? you'll cause an accident and hurt someone"

Maybe they just heard "o youuuu reallissse youuu..." as you headed past?

Oxford St isn't bad, its just the blind spots caused by the busses, charing cross road is worse as it's quicker

I hit a small chinese woman in putney last year, she ran from infront a bus?? lucky for her i had my front break. sadly my attempt to stop in time turned into a "Flying endo head butt". A fsking PEACH of a move albeit a little savage at that time of the morning.
Didn't kill her though, i think my hair broke the impact

?

I'm hitting the next pedestrian who runs out in front of me.

LOL

I hit a 14/15 year old girl near the E**rates staidium last year, she stepped out between 2 parked cars. Once I'd made sure she was ok it turned out she was waiting for her mum who was in the pub on the corner, that poor lass had a $hit day that day.

?

that is the most pointless bit of shaving ever!
