Fuck you peds, fuck you.

Will I get shot down if I post a positive story here? On my commute this morning I rode right past a pedestrian on a crosswalk, cutting him off ever so slightly. But instead of getting pissed the guy just shouted "Allez Eddy!" in encouragement. So naturally I picked up the pace and raced away. Keeping the dream alive!

You will die and get stabbed in the face.

You must be new around here?

Got through the shit bit of Atlantic Road and had a green light at the junction with coldharbour. Pootling through at a good speed when BANG a ped walks out blindly in front of me. I had no time to stop so just ploughed into him. I stayed upright and he just stood in the road staring at me until I reminded him that he was in a road and should probably get out before something else runs him over. Bloke working in the butchers was a sweetheart and made sure I was ok. Bike has squiffy bars and a wonky lighmount, could have been worse.

Think my new number one most annoying people are runners. Nearly crashed knot someone on a shared crossing on CS7, about 10 bikes and a few peds, all crossing how you should cross. This woman decided to run diagonally into me, and carried on running, when I shouting fuck you* she said something like this is a pavement or something. NO, it's part of a cycle super highway so it's a shared cross that is blue with CS7 written on the floor. Bitch!

• I lost my cool only because my left knee got injured in a similar incident about 3 years ago and I am still getting treatment for it... And because she ran into me head on, I had to put the very same foot down, hence the anger...
  

Yeah, they don't even pay tax!

Stupid ped!

You're not going to tell us what happened then?

Pah, ten mins with spoke key, should be fine.

I'd be looking for something bigger than a spoke key to insert into the ped..

Southbound on the A10, sat at reds at Dalston Junction crossroads, light goes green so I set off, overtake a nodder and then notice a ped crossing to go up Balls Pond Road so I go to go round the left side of him/behind him and then all of a sudden he leaps back straight into the path of my front wheel, I didn't even had time to apply the brakes. We both go down hard and the phone he was too busy looking at rather than the traffic goes flying.

Then slow down in preparation for an emergency stop, it's not rocket science.

I'm not, he saw the peds, decided to undertake instead of slowing down.

Ped not peds.

Ped not peds.

new here too?

^^^ agree - better to slow down and be sure of what the guy is doing than blast through and hope nothing happens.

WTF thread>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

If you cycle at night do they do a moth version?

Is he for real? I couldn't stop laughing... Hahahaha...

I'm getting one.
It was walk in the road night last night on my commute

Sweet fucking justice tonight. Ped meet car, car meet ped.

Fucknozzle ran into the road because right lane stopped. I missed the prick because I knew the area and uphill. Bright green car in third lane got him though. He was OK, just made to look a twat bouncing off the bonnet.

I'll replay that image every time another douche tries to commit suicide.
