Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

Boardman bike multiplied by football sock/shorts multiplied by being ridden on the drops = DANGER WILL ROBINSON

I saw a lad riding in football socks, shorts and shinpads the other week. They were the slip-in ones and he had a rucksack too so I really didn't know what to make of it...

^ Naughty sexist comment!

Also, how do you know they were Scottish?

Probably because the short skirts were complimented by orange skin and muffin tops.

Because he's in scotland.

Not all cyclists in England are English though!

Ah, that explains it!

Ah the power league belters...

I've started to regard the riders of Boardman bikes with the same suspicion that I usually offer to Addy Lee drivers and National Express coaches. It's like a giant moving warning sign.

I ride a Boardman, you insensitive clods

Exactly. Exactly so.

Why would anyone consider it acceptable to 'take the bike to work this morning' wearing boxer shorts and a vest*

• = proper vest - white (used to be) .
  

Exactly. Exactly so.

Currently unable to locate any football socks to photographs however.

Miss Mouse and others - sorry for the sexist comment.

I knew they were Scots though, I could hear them chattering whilst I was waiting at lights.

^ np - I wasn't personally offended but some might be.

I suppose nodders aren't exclusive to London's Cycle Superhighways.

give us all the gory details then.

The homo-erotic imagery is intense, I give you that.

^^ you need to learn rex kwon do.

Having a sticker saying so on your Dolan does not necessarily make you 'Supreme'.

With the way you ride and a semi-functional front brake only on your ss, I suggest you replace it with a sticker saying 'Prize Chump'.

Got rear ended trackstanding clipless this morning, que slow mo fall over, never had a hope of unclipping with atacs in competition setting! Nice graze down the leg now. Fair weather cyclists are out in force.
Lots of numptys about, no ones perfect so took his apology and shook hands.

passers-by avert mess.

This is the 'euph?' bit, right?

Hopefully this short clip will sustain you until you can return to the commuter heaven that is CS7:

Jesus! CS2 ain't got shit...

Did call out a PCSO who parked his cuntmobile tricycle slap bang in the middle of CS2 just after a bus stop. Thank fuck his colleague had the brain power to work out that parking it in the lay-by wouldn't cause an almighty obstruction. Was tempted to kick it over as I rode past.

Mr Johnson insisted that he would work to improve the capital for cyclists. “There is much, much more we can do to make London one of the great cycle cities of the world,” Mr Johnson said. “Believe me, I have that commitment.”
He said that the two goals of speeding the flow of traffic and keeping cyclists safe were not incompatible. The Mayor was criticised for claiming that 62 per cent of people killed or seriously injured while riding a bicycle were breaking the rules of the road when they were knocked off their bikes.

I'd like to see the source of that 62% figure.

Mr Johnson’s insistence that some sixty-two per cent of cyclists who suffered fatal or serious injuries in a road traffic collision were ignoring traffic rules at the time is at odds with the findings of a Transport Research Laboratory report commissioned by the Department for Transport, which found that cyclists were at fault in just 7 per cent of incidents; that same report found that in the majority of cases, drivers of motor vehicles were entirely at fault.

Ignoring traffic rules and being at fault for an accident are two different things.

A Lezyne pressure drive pump can also substitute quite usefully as an extendible baton for deterrent porpoises.

deterrent porpoises.

Surely these only work at sea?
