Fucking Nodders!

So I'm cycling to school today, and I'm about to go round a corner, and this right fluro nodder (mtb/city bike w. fluro jacket) comes round the corner (wooden fence corner, no pavement or nuffing), and comes straight for me, so I go left to avoid him, and he goes right (so the same direction as me), I carry on going left, and he carries on going right, right into the side of me. He falls over, I fall over him, and now my carbon fork is cracked and my wheel buckled. For some reason I was proper chilled and apologized (dunno why) instead of going mental. He went on his way, and I was left there with a fractured fork. Needless to say I am pissed.
The protocol is always avoid others by going to the left, amiright?

I hate fucking nodders!

Anyone else got nodder rants to relieve?

cheers clefty thats my thread of the year so far and i haven't read a word on it just marvelled at the artwork +1

You ought to try riding in London.

Seriously though that is annoying. He probably rides the same route every day if he's a flouro nodder, wait for him at about the same time in a hoodie, jump out at him and take him for the cost of replacement bits.

Alternatively you could just have a reasonable conversation about it.

Thread title is ace in a 'does exactly what it says on the tin' type of style, style of type....

This thread lacks panache.

So why was it thre "nodders" fault? He tried to avoid same as you.
And what is a nodder anyway. I wear fluro orange/yellow, it helps drivers see you.
And if they don't it bumps up your compensation at court (from experience).

Needs more pizzazz.

I need pizza.

more sashay?

Fuck yeah! More sashay!

Well, not really.... dont know how it can sashay, but it needs more, agreed.

Needs more... oomph.

Or satay?

OP: Are you the kid form ages ago whose mum wouldn't let him have a fixed?

I would say that currently 97.234% of the chat on this forum is pretty shit at the moment and there seems recently to have been loads of dicks hanging around causing aggro for no reason or getting into petty squabbles and frankly its not been the greatest of forums to hang around on but then when you check out the 2 threads above you realise how good it used to be and probably still can be....

Bollocks it's great.
