just some poor ass drivers out there. Also i feel as pointed out there is a lack of respect or knowledge of cyclists. This morningon the way to work up High-holborn, taxi at junction by Grey's inn offices, see's me pulls out, far to late to pull out really, then promptly stops. Gets a WTF u doing from me..replies its my job mate! yes he was picking up a fare, but as i pointed out to him , would he of done that shite if i was driving?? No, becuase i would of piled the fuck into him and would of cost him some ££'s.
So because im on a bike im either 1) not to be worried about 2) if i crash into him there is no recourse ie ill hurt myslef more then his taxi or 3) a few extra quid in his pocket is worth more than injuring me.
Yes I drive when needed, but i enjoy cycling way more plus and I give road users the same respect all over, but honestly bike or car I seem to spend my time giving helpful advice to more and more idiot car/van/bus drivers etc etc than i ever give to cyclists.
Bad shite about your bike m8, hope you get it sorted, though all this shite stopping cyclists is a joke ..get the fucking idiots who can't drive off the road would be a benefit to all.
