Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

There's a complete cocksocket who I see on the Uxbridge road most days. He comes flying out of a side street, as usual without any regard for other traffic, weaving through pedestrians as he RLJs at high speed through the Shepherds Bush roundabout, pushing through gaps and generally just being a self centred dick on a bike.

This morning as I made my way thorough Notting Hill I saw him in an animated conversation with the cops who'd set up an RLJ trap for cyclists at Kensington Church Street. He was arguing with three cops, one of whom seemed to be writing out more than one ticket. It completely made my day.

I'd have u-turned, called him a twat for his constant shit riding and a bedwetter for not being able to take finally being caught like man.

I kinda misquoted you by solely taking what was in the speech marks and running with it.

We all know London's roads are packed tight and it's not easy but monitor any junction and what I posted applies. The sheer lack of forward thinking, the constant self serving attitude and the inability/refusal to signal intent drives me to insanity.

And yes, Jimmy it is hellish at times.

But I hadn't disagreed with you, let alone anyone else. I accept my comment could across as a bit random, though. And it can be hellish, for sure.

The three cops he was arguing with were doing a fine job of making their point. Anything I would have said would have been superfluous.

never, ever, ever go down here.
I would rather cycle backwards down the fast lane of Park Lane than use this cycle path.
It's bad enough where the Donkey Derby ends and you come across them when they jump the lights from Hype Park corner into Constitution Hill as you come round the fast bend from Park Lane.

I sometimes like buying a Ribena and a walkers salt & Vinegar, setting up my camping chair on that corner and sitting there to watch idiots try really hard being turned into red paste.

Sad thing is people like him probably won't learn from it, think he's been hard done over by an unfair system, and just carry on riding like a cunt. Next time the police try to stop him he'll just leg it.

My fucking hero.

This morning I swatted the undertaking RLJ-er away, like a fly.

He: RLJ Blackfriars Rd into Southwark St.
Me: Stamford St straight into Southwark St

He dropped back considerably due to his shame...

Called out a guy for being ironically bad, not just bad (for which I wouldn't ever bother). C-bombed a ped who wandered across the road then jumped a red, carving up a crossing full of peds.

He didn't see the irony himself and used naughty words at me.

Me, riding through Central like a total weapon.

Sorry everyone, I was mad and absent-minded, and the usual weird Oxford street bullshit wasn't taking my full attention.

On a similar note, I had a proper little chuckle on the way home this evening when I was stopped at the lights on Rosebery Ave. Guy on a horrible white conversion with Spinergy front wheel and boardtrack style bars sails through the red without a care in the world. Copper pops out on the other side of the junction and waves him in for a talking. My face was something similar to this >>

/\ smelling your own fart ?

Now if the cops would just set up shop on the A202 I'd be a happy man. Pick a junction, any junction and there will be a procession of twats jumping the lights all the way from Peckham to the Oval.

Is there a way we can write in and tell them to do more checks and suggest good locations?

/\ smelling your own fart ?

Yeh thats the face I use for being smug and smelling my own farts.

some utter cuntwagon on a cinelli mash with rear spoke and front 80mm deep rim running reds rode like a chode past me this morning by mile end tube. if you're on here, you ride like a cnut and looked like you were wearing flippers. Oh, and nice full leg lycra under the camo shorts, i expect that came in handy in the summer weather we're having along with that beanie you CUNT!!!!

Don't normally travel central during rush hour, too hellish, but today I had to. It's pandemonium! Witnessed two incidents with people smashing into the back of each other, followed by three people nearly get pancaked by a bus going towards New Oxford Street just under Centre point. WHY U NO LOOK LEFT??!?!?1 Also, pavement jumpers....pavement jumpers everywhere!!

Coasting down the hill towards a red light, it changed so I rolled through. A second or two earlier and it would have been a bit cheeky but it was no longer fully red and was at a turn-in a one-way street. This apparently displeased the mug on the On One waiting at the lights, because he overtook me and aggressively cut in front missing my front wheel by about an inch. I mentioned this to him at the next lights;
Him: "Yeah but you jumped the red light back there so you're giving the rest of us a bad name, so as far as I'm concerned you don't exist."
Me: "So if someone does something wrong in your eyes they don't exist , and I'm giving us a bad name?" God help any pedestrians in front of this guy.
Him: "Go on, jump this light, I really really hope you get hit by a car, that would make my day that would." Classy.

Perhaps if he didn't cycle with mirrored sunglasses to match his silver cycling outfit like some kind of bargain-basement Robocop he might be able to tell red from yellow.
Fashion tip: mirrored shades are not a strong look if you have a face like Gareth Southgate having an allergic reaction.

A chippy was unloading his van and was delighted to see cyclists arguing with each other instead of him so at least it made his day.

...rode like a chode...
Thankyou for teaching me a new word. I look forward to using it in conversation.

Calling out myself for continuously riding on the right and gesticulating angrily at drivers who come careering around the corners on the wrong side of the road. Note to self: NOT in America anymore!

Hanging head in shame :(

cunts the lot of them, why do i even bother to keep trying to ride in at 8am. ffs

Him: "Go on, jump this light, I really really hope you get hit by a car, that would make my day that would."

If someone said that to me I'd lamp them one. Then tell them it made my day. Then I'd lamp their wife. Then their children. I'm the Keyser Soze of lamping.

I don't care what a cyclist has done, wishing they'd be hit by a car is fucking off.

9:30 comute is so much beter. That way you miss more of the bell ends on the way back too.

I would like to call out the stiff westerly wind this morning.
I felt like Dolph Lundgren on that treadmill in Rocky 4 http://youtu.be/1SUzcDUERLo?t=3m11s
