what is wrong with people

They are all blind cunts.

dont they know how to use their fucking mirrors

Nope.

They are all blind cunts.

Thats probably a dis to blind people. They'd probably drive more carefully than half the pricks on the road.

if i may join your rant...
i nearly crashed twice today from stupid pedestrians walking out in the road without looking and in both cases they were only meters way from a crossing, A few choice words were had! luckily i was going slowly to get used to my new fixed wheel bike.

rant over!

i went down heavly and he sped off the cock!!

Boast post (albeit illiterate).

Sexual innuendo fail...

If it is they can't read it, so it doesn't matter.

I did the coolest thing just now - pulled a massive skid to avoid a car turning right (oncoming traffic), while swerving left. I got so much lean on that I scraped my rim against the tarmac. Then I nonchalantly hopped onto the curb, while simultaneously crossing infront of the (now stopped) car and swearing, before doing a skilful little hop back onto the road and trackstanding smugly (if a little shaken) at the lights.

Bad driving is just an excuse to pull some cool manoeuvres and earn street cred.

Sounds awesome but im having difficulty picturing it. Go out and do it again and get someone to film it this time.

'Jaws' for the win. Look it up...

So basically, I'm cycling along, there's a crossroads ahead of me (for those that know south london, the crossroads just before the imperial war museum), and traffic queueing at the lights. There's a police station just before the lights, with a little side road. It was the typical crash scenario - stationary traffic - driver waves on a car turning right through the stationary traffic, right into the path of me, filtering in between 2 lanes. The only option for myself, a brakeless cyclist of death, is to turn sharply while skidding, bringing myself onto the same or similar vector as the driver, while s/he slows down. The crazy cool rim-scraping skid happened at this point - the driver came to a stop in the entrance to the junction (which actually also had about 4 people crossing it at the same time, the driver was a dopey shortsighted prick), i negotiated the various obstacles, hopped onto the pavement, then resumed my position waiting for the lights to change, and drafting some cool old guy on a roadie all the way through kennington before getting bored/tired at the bottom of brixton road.

Put some fucking brakes on and stop moaning.

I know there are screenreaders, but I can't imagine what a blind person would be doing on a cyclists website, so I think it still works. just.

Put some fucking brakes on and stop moaning.

I'm not moaning!!!! It was good fun!

If i had brakes I'd have probably just gone straight over the handlebars and caught fire.

:)

ASM you are a cool dude fixie pilot, good work.

Sweet avatar BlueQuinn. Ok im done. Talk amongst yourselves.

YES!!! One more for the book...

should we have a separate forum for these traffic based threads?

there seems a lot of C+ type stuff coming up recently, and I wonder if it might be better in the long term to categorize it, so those who thrive on that kind of thing can fill their boots, and those who would rather not get into it can ignore the sub section.

Here's a thought.
Try ignoring the threads that you aren't interested in.
EDIT: I can't believe how fucking pompous that post of yours is. ROFL.

Were you born a prick or did you really have to work at it?

a thread entitled "I'm going to have a rant" could be about almost anything, I had to click it first to see it was another drivers/road/commuting thing.

why don't you take your own advice and ignore it then??
