Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

Mostly irrelevant because it's in Kyoto, not London, but one from this morning.

Dear sir,

If you are going to ride at a wobbly 5mph down a busy rush-hour pedestrian-only pavement, you do not need to ride a high-spec carbon road bike and you do not need to be clad head to toe in bright yellow lycra, topped with an equally yellow Livestrong time-trial helmet.

Additionally, you shouldn't be wobbling along the fucking sidewalk at 5mph, you berk.

At first I had to laugh because you looked like a complete plank, then I just had to facepalm and hope that people don't assume all cyclists are like you.

Spent ages chatting to some pro Triathlete guy who works for a newish bike company, he said that when he's raced in Japan, there's people with 10k worth of kit who are not even trying, they might as well be out for a ride alongside the canal. They don't pretend they're fast because they've got all the kit, they know they're dog slow, they just enjoy having all the kit.
