Spotted...

heh, I moved to the Isle a few months ago. Didn't notice any cuntiness yet.
Island Gardens mandem

I've lived on the Isle for 3 years. Some cunts here, but to be fair, a lot just work here and leave by 5pm...

The thing that really gets me is, you are slowing down to go through a gap then a freewheeling nodder comes flying infront of you to get though the gap before slamming on the brakes because they have no sence on spacial arwareness. Three times this morning.

Uh-huh. [sighs]

I try to keep remembering all cycling is good - but it doesn't always work. Deliberately took a more chilled attitood this morning and let everyone else get on with their 'racing'.

Also - spotted 2 (two) people in balaclavas. WTfuckingF?

@Teens - I'm glad it didn't ^_^

me, with two punctures within ten miles this morning. two. gtfo!

you're in west norwood??? i've seen 2 people ride fixed past my school (Dunraven) and both of them FAILED TO SKID on request. tsk tsk

thankfully i don't know where that school is, so i reckon it's someone else. hi though! big up the dunnyraves

This

What is it with the tits trying to undertake at the lights, front wheel wobbling all over the place, cranks crunching, gears slipping

Mate, I'm only gonna overtake you again 15yrds up the road so don't be a melt and get the fuck out my way!

i notice this particularly around upper street between essex road and the angel lights.
at the moment there are roadworks which mean that it's gridlock.
undeterred, swarms of noddy mc nodders speed like demons through any gap they can only to jam on the breaks when they knock off wing mirrors and scratch the sides of buses.
best of all is the people who pick up their bikes and literally RUN along the pavement as though they're in a fucking triathlon in their jeans with yellow reflective ankle clips.

very tiresome.

Hey, it's easy to let the adrenaline get to you. I've often found myself cycling no handed punching the sky through a ped crossing, thinking that they're all there waiting to celebrate at my finish line

bitch, bitch, moan, moan.
bitch, moan.
moan, bitch.
nodder.
bitch, moan.

Gaaaahhhhh!

I'm staying away from the hipster spice route and main roads from now on. Tonight I will be bustin' out Google Maps and learning the back streets as, if I carry on with my usual commute, I may witness a death. No thanks.

I hope the self-righteous fixie elite remember their bitching about nodders undertaking/wobbling in front of you at lights when they're filtering past a queue of motorised vehicles that will (in that specific context) obviously be covering ground more quickly than you once the lights change.

Any driver that has to swing out to pass you (having been ahead of you at the lights) is going to have exactly the same irritated thoughts that you have about cuntface nodders.

Don't be hypocritical idiots, please.

Agreed...

Haha.

For the record, it is mentile round Angel at the moment. Top-tip: escape the madness, do a cheeky left into Duncan Street by the Foxtons at the end of Camden Passage, left by the York. Go right onto Colebrooke Row, cross City Rd and Goswell Street with the nodders using the bikelane/crossing and sneak left back onto St John Street and you've skipped the whole gridlocked mess in a few seconds.

I've been avoiding Angel by going up Barnsbury and down Amwell. More nodders but with fewer cars they are easier to deal with. And without the bus and lorry shit-storm that the Angel has become I hope I won't have to watch one of the poor bastards get crushed in a misjudged undertake.

Ha, Metal playing on the headphones, enjoying the sunshine and dreaming of tonight's polo. It really shouldn't have been hard to catch up to me on 38 GI though.

@BMMF: It's not just the nodders tho', it's a lot of riders... From roadie-douchebags to fixie-skidders to Brompton-folk... 99% of people on London's roads are twats, doesn't matter what mode of transport they choose... I try very hard to let it wash over me now... Agree with wools, time to hit the backstreets...
BTW I know, Bike Radar's over there... >>>

And cuntface fixie nodder on the fluoro yellow SS Schwinn Madison with matching fluoro top, you're going down next time I see ya, mate, you ride like a cunt... [/rant]

I see him a lot. I'm surprised each time I see him as he's still alive despite riding like an utter joey.

riding like an utter joey.

Ha! VG.

It shouldnt have been but i was literally on your tail when my turn came up unfortunately. Noticed you spinning like mad but still overtaking nodders. And damn man, your seat is low. You almost have a cruiser going on there. It did make me smile seeing your ninja sword polo mallet out the back. But anyways - good seeing you sir! The black against the fluro yellow

Them vehicles weren't going anywhere this morning. Rammo!

woot woot, a colleague just sent me an email to say that she regularly spots me in Clapham Common and on Chelsea Bridge.

2 pedestrians, crossing at a zebra crossing outside British museum, I slow down to let them over. They stop in the middle of the oncoming lane for a few seconds and look at something in the distance in the other direction for some reason (no other traffic around). To be there is to know that by now I'm almost at the crossing, so I can pass them with over a full lane's width. When they decide to continue across at their own leisure, they find me passing still with a good 4m of space, one of them decides to run at me closing the distance considerably, presumably to make a point. He shouts then swears.

What a guy.

Commuter dude on his super blinged out carbon Planet X with TT bars and Carbon Zipps front and rear, looking like an idiot on York Way this morning.

Seriously, who the fuck commutes on full carbon in central london? good luck with those winter potholes mate.
