Let's Stand In The Road!

p.s. age is negotiable, dependent on the quality of the lighting...

And botox.

I don't like this at all...

Me neither. This all sounds pretty dangerous.

So why are more of these fucking idiots not dying?

I dont know.

This thread is very irresponsible. People may get hurt.

Some people seem to be interpreting it as an instruction rather than satire. They must be the kind of fucking idiots who stand in the road. They're probably the ones doing it all over London at the moment when they're not walking their fixie-wixies along the pavement.

I dont know.

They should wear shoes, these are a good form of foot protection.

Well, don't post in it, then. ;)

I regularly get idiot 16 year olds near liverpool street shouting and trying to jump in front of my bike - this is where I should shout I cant brake. Or going across london bridge a troupe of tourists crossing the 8 lanes of traffic then they see people on bikes and they stop walking so I aim to ride behind them, then they start running backwards to the central divide then I nearly hit them.

I saw someone doing this just this morning. I didn't realise it was such a ped fashion.

It's the latest version of freerunning, I believe they call it "freestanding".

So is this a new craze then like yo-yos and the rubix cube?

... and fixies

…and being self-absorbed to the point of retardation.

To be fair. Some people lead such painfully repressed lives that the only power or control that they ever exert over others is to put them to inconvenience by obstructing them. They do this to show that they can and in order to retain some semblance of self will.

Either that or they really have had enough of life.

I hope I find some fucker standing in my way on the way home today. They will be the one inconvenienced when they wake up in hospital with no teeth. The day I'm having :)

Brighton is full of people who like to stand in the road. And they like to look shocked and surprised when I scream at them to wake them from their death-inducing stupor.

A couple of weeks ago I did yell GET OUT OF THE FUCKING ROAD to some teenage tourist who was with his family and wandered into the road - despite seeing me coming - in order to prove how grown up he was. His sister laughed at him. Result.

Mike, a suggestion: put you D-lock somewhere where it is not close to hand; in your bag or somewhere like that. Just a suggestion mind.

I've yelled all kinds of shit at oblivious pedestrians and got many startled responses. I'm amazed by how many people wander into roads while listening to their iMusics

My Dad used to tell me to
"Go Play with the Traffic"
or
" Go and polish the Cat's Eyes"

So i'm pretty used to Dealing with being in the middle of a road.

:) It won't be the d-lock, it will be the force from my velocity that sees them onto the floor. I need to ride home hard and fast
