......with fucking pedestrians walking out in front of me without fucking looking! Last night, I was riding down Tooley St. I was going gently in the cycle lane as there was a bit of traffic around. I approached one of the many sets of traffic lights, which for a change was green, and was about to pass the back of a bus which was gently accelerating when I was forced to stop. Forced by the fuckwit ped. who walked straight out with zero observation or warning. I braked hard but still ran into him. Luckily, as stated, I was rolling gently along otherwise I would have totally t-boned him. Why am I so fucked off? 1) this shit seems to be happening more often 2) ped. gambols on blissfully unaware of a potentially quite nasty RTA 3) When I shout WTF at the guy all the other peds. nearby look at me like I committed genocide with a sawn off uni-pack.
Rant over, thankyou... FE
