Foundry Traffic Lights

I know its cool to jump the red lights there on your brakeless fixies. But
A. dont fucking do it when I am trying to go through a green and B. dont fucking do it whan a car is coming towards you at 30 mph.
Everynight and morning now I see some fuckwit behaviour at these lights. If you can't control your bike with brakes what fucking chance have you got without.
Get some fucking brakes

Rant over

I love that intersection.

I take it you mean those traveling from London's famous Hackney towards Old Street?

i love hipsters who can't ride

yeah but do you go flying through regardless of all others that may be crossing legitimitely?

Hmmm. I do see some painfully retarded behaviour down there. It's a big mix of dickheads that fly through and almost get hit by cars and weirdos on mtbs that lunge right without checking over their shoulder.

I hate it when people cross over the old street cycle/ped crossing by the foundry when I am trying to ride down the road and the lights are going my way. You had your chance when your light was green. Now fucking wait.

I proceed when it is safe to do so for myself, other cyclists and pedestrians, everything else is irrelevant to me.

^ I have to agree. Oh, and if the police are not about.

Natural selection in action, it weeds out the weak, the lame, and the ill of braincells. Clearly only a matter of time.

Go THROUGH those red lights??? Are you fucking mental? Do you know how many people there are around to watch you trackstand there? Its like being in the fucking olympics!

hmmm... the fucking olymypics. I'd buy tickets.

Probably wouldnt qualify to take part.

Don't get me wrong, I rarely stop at red lights. Just seems that junction is a magnet for real idiotic behaviour. I watched yesterday as a guy on a brand new brakeless bike really struggled to stop in time at a red, he was skidding all over the place. I really thought he was gonna go straight through and end up on the floor. Another idiot flew straight accross as I was crossing this morning, missed me by inches

hmmm... the fucking olymypics. I'd buy tickets.

You'll get in, I heard there's a few different categories.

hehe

Yeah it is a deadly, deadly crossing but until the idiots with no-skills get taken down a peg or two by having a (hopefully) non-fatal or life-changing shock there is not much you can do about it.

You can't really reach these morons, common sense is independent of platform.

Why don't you cycle into them to make a point?

You people make me laugh. How am I expected to get work done.

Why don't you cycle into them to make a point?
Believe you me, I would have done if, A I was in full flow and B. I was not still recovering from a nasty accident on the track

hmmm... the fucking olymypics. I'd buy tickets.

There's always the special Olympics...

The fucking olympics sounds pretty bloody special to me...

On a serious note, is it really called the "Special" Olympics? Its just dawned on me how condescending that sounds.

pats athlete on head for having a go
