Fcuking cyclists!

about 4:30 pm i am racing back to work on clerkenwell road and at the st john st intersection this geared, white male cyclist who i was over taking suddenly decides to jump the red, undertake me, and turn right without signaling or indicating or looking and rode blithely off! my natiural reaction was to avoid and i rode into the stationary moped driver. so i thought that was pretty bad form from a cyclists perspective.

then on the way back home on clerkenwell i'm in the cycle lane and a guy cutting through traffic again cuts me off, without looking at all and i had to break heavily. i swear, next cyclist who cuts me off without good reason and without looking, i'm ramming...

i hate cyclists too. they should all be forced to buy cars like decent people.

See? Now you've done it. I'm going to be riding around scared now, just at the thought of you ramming into me.

Maybe I'll just take the bus. The fright is giving me a funny turn.

Spend some time here in Birmingham. Youll never ever have that problem.

All cyclists are racist.

Shudder

you're a brummie? god help you. i think i'd just rather thrown myself under a bus. no offence to your fine town of course. but...

Sure there isnt as much stuff happening, but you can live in moderate luxury for £50 a week. In an area where you can leave your doors open without much concern.

Its also the 2nd most multi-cultural place in the country after london. and you dont have to concern yourself with 'scenes' so much, can just get with your own thing.

sorry but Brummagem still does my head in...

"Turns out, if you know what you're doing, Birmingham really isn't that shit." The Guardian

"Go to any Birmingham pub and some local will claim 'Tolkein used to drink in here'. If true, his apparent hobby of city-long pub crawls explains the p**s-poor quality of the Lord of the Rings."

Oh my god,

Pogus Caesar is in that list.

Hes an awful talentless wannabe photgrapher that my sister was forced to work with for a while.

He is well know as "Pogus the Bogus" to everyone he knows.

total moron.

But Pogus was mildly famous for taking pictures of the Handsworth riots. He is a local celeb-re-tey.

He only takes pictures of Handsworth, because thats where he lives!

Ooh, the tales I could tell....

I think we are all very grateful that you don't...

Just so you know, most of the time, the person who does the rear-ending comes off worse.

Innuendo alert.

and the photos of you on them don't do you justice

I'm not having anyone shitting on Brum adds everyone in this thread to shit list

easy fella, I'm from Bournville...

Well the paperwork takes a while to process, so I'll just bin your form.

that is really BAD!

Overtaking another cyclist is a deliberate provocation to 'race'. When racing another cyclist if you can get them to ride into the back of a stationary moped that is mucho kudos worth like at least twenty extra brownie points. Its a jungle out there.

hehehe

well considering i weigh 100kg and my bike is heavy as fuck steel, next time i'm just gonna ride into him... but i race people all the time, and usually win with my acceleration of 36:16 but then get over taken soon enough.

I find that Clerkenwell Road is, after Oxford Street, probably THE road to avoid if you are on a bike. I prefer to cut down all the back roads. If however, you are forced to go down it. You have to attack it like a maniac. Bang in the centre of the road. Not stopping for any other vehicles, pedestrians or lights. Maybe thats what the other guys philosophy was too. Shame he didn't have the required skill to carry it out

i actually enjoy clerkenwell road for the exact reasons you mentioned, but i actually look, dude was just straight up dumb and lucky i wasnt a motorbike otherwise he would have been in serious pain... if you're gonna jump red light kids, at least look every direction to avoid fast moving objects killing you...
