• GETTING TO THE LIGHTS FIRST

    Every time some tit (or tits) flys past as I'm cruising to a stop for the lights, do they not realise they'll save their rims and pads if they look ahead and coast rather than sprintin everywhere an slamming the brakes on? AND when I'm waiting in a safe position for lights to change hordes of twats always push past and block all the cars slowing EVERYONE down. Fucking pathetic. Not to mention cars and scooters etc who cut you up when you're 10m from the line. WHY?

    I have a plan. I'm gonna buy loads of cheap little trophies from a sports shop and every time some tit barges past me so they can sit triumphantly at the front of the queue like a tool, I present them with a little award and say "well done! you got to the lights first! Have a fucking Medal!" and I'm gonna hire a queen tribute act to play "We are the Chaampions" from the pavement.

    Actually, anyone know a good place to buy loads of tacky little "1st" medals, for like a sportsday or whatever. I'm seriously gonna do this. Had enough. Rant over.

    Totally. So you cruise up to the lights in a nice primary position and then various chumps feel it necessary to cut in and stop in front of you, when it is quite clear that they are not going to be putting the hammer down when the lights change, necessitating an overtaking manoeuvre on your part. I'm slowly putting together a compilation of "things not to do when riding in London" from my head cam - not sure when it will be finished (although summer is rich in case study material) but will hopefully help some people think a bit about the way they ride...
    I'm interested in some medals to dish out though!
