Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

just kidding. I haven't even seen you on a bike in at least a year

You could at least spell my fucking name right.

Alright which one of you is this?

Muppet. Clearly thinks he is above mere mortal status.

Ollie? I swear every time I write it you say that. No matter how it's spelt.

Ha. That's only because it's a conflation of two other more widely used spellings. The Olie one is creative, but also looks Polish.

And you know, I fucking hate Polish spelling.

Olley?

so what you're saying is you prefer Oli

Olliej

Olay

oily

^ Was going to say that but don't know him well enough.

wow what an utter cunt. If you slow the video down the guy looks like someone i see from time to time around east, a few times at LMNH, deffo a forumenger.

I bet hes the kind of wanker who spends shitloads of money on his sweet fixie (is that a Corima 4-spoke on the front?) then rides around like a cunt, hating on people riding beat up mtbs in fluro gear because they are 'nodders' while he is way better than them because he spouts ill-informed shit on some wanky bike forum and spent loads of money on his bike. Fuck him and those like him.

spot on. i just negged you by mistsake and cant fix it. meant to rep you. sorry!

You could at least spell my fucking name right.

Is that one different from your real name?

Oliver! So rude!

Yeah that's me with the camera,wearing all the hi-viz I could find.I was riding a Charge Plug '10,obviously not as posh as his bike,of which I would have demolished if I had hit him.

Oliver! So rude!

Oh, I agree, his swearing is awful. :)

What is it about British Summer Time that makes Nodders think “The weather's nice enough to ride into work now”? Is it me, or were they all out in force this morning?

Very much the same on my route, NodderRaces here we go! The perpetual 'get to the front, get there quick, must be first' mindset is set to stay for the season.

Possibly the one upside to hayfever, your chest makes you sound like a diesel engine, and this freaks the new Nodds right out - particularly when waiting at a red....

A further note, It's a bright sunny day, and though I understand the use of Fluro hi vis drapery do you think it works better on a bright sunny morning??

I was a walkenger this morning (due to a chainwhip incident late last night that resulted in me having 3 bikes, none ridable this morning...) and saw some god awful riding. A lot of people boxing the rear wheel of the rider in front, and wobbly nods cutting infront of traffic and other cyclists. Bring on the rain to put all the fair-weathers back on the tube.

Who looks like dubtap and rides a Cinelli fauxie? I'm sure dubtap would never do such a dick move up the inside of another rider and a stopped large vehicle at a pedestrian crossing on Guilford St with a ped on it and without even altering his speed…

Calling out myself:
Got stopped by plod after rolling across a zebra crossing with some peds still on it. Apparently it's dealt with by going to court (not a FPN) and he said it didn't seem worth it did it, don't do it again etc.
Fair enough I suppose but it's annoying when nine times out of ten I do stop when everyone else flies through!

I'm assuming this thread will become filled to bursting with the calling out of nameless cyclists who have the temerity to cycle in a manner not becoming of the cognoscenti on these fine pages, who will never know how badly they ride since they don't post here and will never read these finely delivered comments.

but:
"if you don't like something, change it, if you can't change it, change your attitude"

Because everyone who frequents these pages best get used to the fact that more and more people are going to be cycling in london, and probably in a manner that will infuriate all of you. And since there's nothing you can do to change that, probably a change in attitude will need to be administered..
