• Pigfarmer's let himself go...

  • Maybe she had her stomach removed after a liquid nitrogen cocktail.

  • I work in the chemistry department and got an email an hour ago with the subject "Liquid nitrogen user training". It is a routine thing for the new PhD students, but I like the timing...

  • Might be handy with London Cocktail week round the corner!

  • Evoque designer in need of a sandwich.

    A knuckle sandwich?

  • My brother used to have one. I took the piss a lot.

  • WR58 KNE you are a cunt, if I see your bike parked anywhere I shall take great pleasure shitting in your top box.

  • To the passenger of the rented Astra who spat at me on Ladbroke Grove earlier on this afternoon - I reserve the right to call you and your accomplice "a pair of cardboard cut-out cunts" at the traffic lights. Chasing me in your car will do you no favours. I know the man whose running around you do and he has assured me that he will be having words with the pair of you. With any luck he'll give you both a fucking slap...

    You little pair of shithouses can run around all day thinking that you're big important gangsta's but people like you are two a penny. You want respect - demonstrate it and you'll get it. In time. Your boss didn't get to where he has by spitting on cyclists. He did it by keeping the peace.

  • Range Rover drivers are ALL cunts.

    FACT.

    Except Pigfarmer.

    Even God hates Range Rovers:

    "An earlier police message on Twitter described the scene as having "lots of expensive Range Rovers all over the road"."

    No one was injured.

  • Just left work, got two hundred yards and was hit from behind at a red light by a taxi. Got off the bike and was surprised to find it staying upright, lodged in the bumper.

    I pulled it out and he went around the corner to stop. I took the opportunity to get my phone out and hit record. So I have a video of him agreeing that he "rolled into me". I've just watched it back and I really wish I'd said something about it being lodged in the bumper, as the severity of the crash is now his word against mine.

    He disagrees with me on the video about the buckle in the wheel: he thinks its true, I can see a few mm side-to-side and vertical wobble. He's a bloke who sees all bikes as £99 BSOs...

    So, what do I do? I'm sick and tired of being hit by vans, cars and taxis and the police telling me - six months after reporting it - that they'll be doing bugger all. Does the video help me, or is this going to end with me out of pocket and the driver getting off completely, as usual?

  • Did you get his plate number? I mean his taxi number?

  • Yup. It's on the video.

  • Close call on Ride of the Falling Leaves, leave food stop, over round about up London road all signalling right to turn into Force Green road (about 8 -10 of us) in the middle to turn right and some bright spark in Gold Golf GTI overtakes us all nearly causing a massive crash, the driver in BMW behind them just hit their horn and was a gasp!

  • I've filled in the complaint form on the TfL website, and I'm also uploading the video to YouTube - private settings - so that its safe and sound even if I lose my phone. What other steps should I take? Report to police?

  • Hope your ok Sparky

    What bike was it? Get a mechanic to look at it asap.

  • Report it to the police.

  • Email the footage to your local MP, the cab office thing as well as the MP responsible for that borough.

  • Be persistent. Persistence beats resistance.

  • It was the Fuji, Spence. I'll report it to the police tomorrow. I don't see why I can't put the video here as well, apart from the fact that I sound all squeaky and a bit of a dick: YouTube - Taxi driver who hit me from behind

  • Balls. With the pricey wheels?

    I'd email the taxi company asap as B&D says. Then take it down to the mechanic to have a quote put together so you can attach that with a follow up email.

  • You did well to get him to stop. Mind you, your bike was under his cab.
