Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

I did have the pleasure last night of having to swerve around two women with a little kid who had been standing in the road (ha!) by a bus stop who waited until I was about 2 feet away from them before sauntering out to cross. As I gawped at them incredulously while swerving I saw one of them point a finger dreamily at me as though I'd just appeared out of thin air and was composed entirely of fucking ectoplasm. So not only acting like a pair like a cunts but putting a toddler at risk of serious injury at the same time? Nice!

I know what you mean here. Yesterday an idiot pleb woman marched her spawn straight ontl the cycle path with her back to me, I was going moderately fast,a nd immediately locked up both brakes, skidding to a stop about two inches from her backside. Even with her back to me she startled (no doubt to me involuntarily shouting "FUCK!") but then proceeded to pointedly ignore me while she continued her perilous journey. all 25 metres from a zebra crossing. and she'd been dodging between cars which is why I didn't see her.

I've seen fucking mallards with better road sense. I can't imagine what road crossing skills that kid's going to develop. Where's Alvin Stardust when you need him?

I make a point of not RLJ-ing and I always stop for zebra crossing users - like many others, the number of people who say thanks is surprising. That said, I try to acknowledge when other road users are driving considerately of me too, even when technically they're required to.
