  • Walking outside my office at lunch yesterday I saw a brompton rider cycle up James Street the wrong way straight into the oncoming traffic of Wigmore Street. He managed to wobble his way through somehow to continue going straight on up Mandeville Place (which I'm sure is also the wrong way). Plonker.

  • Im More Scared of other Cyclist when I Cycling Then Cars.

  • Put the caps lock down. Leave it alone

  • The crossing or the cunts?

    Yes. I mean, no.

  • Put the caps lock down. Leave it alone

    I thought it was a code...

  • Or a Haiku...

  • 17 syllables!

  • No.

    Back to 14. Damn!

  • Me, this morning.

    In primary, approaching a roundabout, wanting to go right and there's a minicab right on my tail. I'm paying a lot of attention to him, so much I don't see the fucking taxi until coming from my right round the RAB until the last second. Cue vigorous braking a well deserved beeping from the cabbie. WAC etc.

  • My driver instructor always said: Don't worry about assholes behind you.

    Which is sensible advice as feeling pressured due to tailgating in car/bike can lead to things like the above

  • My driver instructor always said: Don't worry about assholes behind you.

    Which is sensible advice as drivers tend to have 2 metres of structure behind them which will crumple and absorb the impact.

    ftfy

  • I got you a pass though.

  • My driving instructor always used to say "look at her over there, she's well fit. Run 'er over and put her in the boot for later".

    I am not joking.

    To be fair to him by doing this repeatedly he did eventually catch me out ogling some cutie whilst he slammed on the brakes to stop me hitting the car in front. Whilst I cannot say he completely cured me of my appreciation of the beauty of the female form he did make sure I would never ever forget the possibility of beauty causing accidents.

    I think we might have had the same driving instructor.

    First lesson we went round some housing estate to see how my control of the car was,

    Second lesson we went up the Kings Road, "'cos that's where all the fit birds are, init".

  • My methods worked.

  • Beauty Black Spots?

  • My driving instructor often repeated "assume every other driver is a caaahnt and you'll be fine", which is good advice for any road user. Are you on here, Paul?

    This morning the minicab behind was hovering between "impatiently waiting" and "about to try to pass dangerously". I was too asleep to decide...

    Anyone

  • ^ Exactly what mine told me but she didn't quite put it like that.

    She was an ex-police driver and a superb trainer. Plus she taught me the location of every Police speed trap in Chester!

  • Lady checking her i-phone and cycling going through Colliers Wood southbound along CS7 this evening - I did offer a gentle "It might be an idea to keep an eye on the road". But thought something less charitable about the gene pool, how the fuck do you do it and such

  • Think I seen you around, what bike do you ride?

    especially as it was a clusterfuck when I went through there at about 6.20

  • Ed -
    Early 90's blue Giant peloton 7200, wonky back wheel, banjaxed saddle

  • Yeah I think I saw that outside Waitrose a while ago.

  • The right hand turn coming down Kingsland road turning onto Balls Pond road - no right hand turn but see hipsters on brightly coloured create/plug/{insert cheap fixie brand here} cutting up traffic just about every time I'm there...

    Been a while since I've been there - haven't to make that maneuever, but was curious if it really was no right turn

    Just sharing as it amused me that google maps appears to think the no right turn signs are faces and has blurred them out.
