• I've had a run-in with the same guy near Mare St/Victoria Park too, trying to intimidate me and overtake me as we were both turning right into Mare St. Knobber.

  • so has anyone roadsafed this fucker?

  • Sounds like somebody should...

  • sounds like you all should

  • Done!

  • Done!

  • Yesterday's ride home from Euston I saw a black cab (LG52HKJ) properly monstering a guy on an old white Peugeot. Pulled across him on Montague St and chased him right onto Great Russell St and left onto Bury Place. Cyclist then darted into Pied Bull Yard and driver got out, started to chase him then thought better. Waited to see if the cyclist would come back out but then drove off. Stopped and gave me evils when he saw me looking at him with his phone out.

    Strike day brought out some aggression but man.

  • What does 'monstering a guy' mean?

  • it's an elaborate form of slang...

    monster is of course short for monster munch, the most popular flavour of monster munch is pickled onion, pickled onion rhymes with bunion, you get bunions on your feet, feet are usually covered in socks, which sounds a bit like sex.

    the cabbie was having sex with the guy.

    Funnily enough, I was eating monster munch while monstering my girlfriend last night.

  • This was posted on Twitter. I am FUMING!
    What hope do cyclists and vulnerable road users have if this is the police's attitude?
    Seems London's Finest don't think this is dangerous...http://t.co/7ELUJGCJNQ

  • Farcical. He's peering at his screen.

  • In the related videos is this twat... Caught Using A Mobile Phone While Driving ? - Speeding Solicitor - Part 1 - YouTube

    Driving at speed, filming himself talking about getting off being done for using a mobile whilst driving.

  • Seems the cops catch cyclists for breaking non-laws like helmets and hi-vis but don't enforce existing legislation like using hand-held phones.
    Fucking hypocrites!

  • I'm usually totally OK with people driving their cars like twats. Well, not exactly OK, but I got used to it by now and can foresee where the shit will coming from, but today was a bit too much and I'm genuinely upset...

    So I'm commuting home from Regent's park to Finsbury park via Camden, usual stuff. Whilst passing Camden rd. station I'm keeping left and riding along some parked cars and at the point where parking lane ends (funny enough, just next to the transport police st.) dude on nissan micra speeds from right lane into the left one just before my nose. When I say before my nose I mean a meter before my front wheel. Mad skidz and all that later I stop next to his window and ask him "why so much hate" and "why try kill me?", and "why not indicate?". I'm told "to read highway code", "where's my fluoro", "my rear light shouldn't be blinking but should be solid", "I shouldn't be cycling in the middle of the lane anyway and if I had been obeying highway code he wouldn't be in my way anyway, so what's the big deal?". And to make things worst the guy was genuinely polite and even holding up traffic behind him while having this convo with me. So I was left confused, speechless and upset, thinking that I might have actually missed something in the hc regarding cycling, so I mashed home as fast as possible, read everything again and am genuinely upset. Upset that I didn't smash my d-lock into guy's chin.
    But come to think of it - drivers actually do expect us to cycle in the gutter and wear fluoro because hc states that we should. Stupid assholes...

  • But come to think of it - drivers actually do expect us to cycle in the gutter and wear fluoro because hc recommends that we should. Stupid assholes...

    It is not law.

  • ...but today was a bit too much and I'm genuinely upset...

    Forget about all that. It's wrong. Just get on with it.

  • On my way to work yesterday morning up Old Kent Road from New Cross. Watch out for this psycho (VK04 EDX), he's a hit and run waiting to happen. Green Corsa, about 2min 40 in. So so close to taking me down. Was reported to Road Safe and I received a prompt reply from the Met saying they will send a letter to remind the driver of the Highway Code, ha ha!

  • Asked some hot head motorcyclist what he thought he was doing trying to squeeze between me and a van waiting at the lights at Shoreditch High Street/Old Street junction. I'd heard him tearing down the road southbound behind me and I was slowing to stop at the lights with some other cyclists behind me.

    A quick glance over my right shoulder and the fucker is inches from me trying to squeeze through a non-existent gap. I ask him the what the fuck he thinks he's doing and stop in the ASL (track standing like a boss). Then I feel someone grab my right arm. The twat has got off his bike and asked me what I said. So I told him exactly what I said previously adding that there was no point at speeding up to the lights and trying to find a non-existent space to squeeze in.

    He then told me that I would've had no idea he was there because I don't have mirrors... No, I don't have mirrors, but I do have ears and I can turn my head round to see and hear idiots endangering other road users.

    For some strange reason this calmed him down, maybe he understood his error and he got back on his bike, maybe it was due to my magical track standing skills throughout the whole confrontation. The lights went green and he tore off down through the traffic on SHS. Didn't manage to get his numberplate to do any reporting though.
