Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

With or without the oil?

^^That's basically bum sniffing.

I nearly vomited when it was on telly box yday

With or without the oil?

I think with, as long as it is a nice Virgin olive oil.

Greco-Roman arm wrestling?

That could work.

When my daughters were babies, one was suffering from "cradle cap" a flakiness of the scalp. I was dispatched to buy some olive oil which was supposed to be a solution for the ailment. Wanting nothing but the best and purest for my child, I bought extra virgin olive oil and for some considerable time thereafter she smelt like a fine salad.

Coming off Vauxhall Bridge towards Oval I saw a man squeeze up the left of an artic as it took the left kink under the railway bridge. I went numb, thought he was going to loose his legs. He just carried on as if nothing happened!

wow, that just jumped pages from 'calling out bad cyclists' to this thread. sorry all.

Are you saying this cyclist cut you up on the pavement?

How come there's one post left? Did jonnyl just delete his posts?

Anyway, today I forgot my lights and got stuck at work till dark, so I cycled on the pavement.. Sorry Clive.

Cycling on the pavement is often totally legal.
When there's that little shared pedestrian and cycling sign, it's still a pavement this "cycling on the pavement is illegal" thing is a dumb as calling VED road tax.

That's amost like referring to the footway as a pavement, or entirely conflating the two, no?

It's like a thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

What kind of a place would have a thousand spoons and no knives?

Smack-den.

An yoghurt tasting competition?

Soup kitchen?

How would you butter the bread?

Credit card

What kind of a junkie ain't carrying a knife?

A polite one who is spending their inheritance on junk rather than robbing the unemployed for pockets full of fluff.

They would possibly also not be the type to frequent smack dens.

What's the logic of that?
Without lights... best place to get seen?
Middle of the lane in the driver's headlights

Don't cycle without lights though, it's illegal too

I suspect that his reasoning included the not unreasonable assumption that there would be fewer motor vehicles on the pavement.

Looked into this pavement thing a few years back, isn't it all on if it's a footpath or footway then it's illegal, otherwise it's not - unless there's a local bylaw in place (usually marked with red circle no cycling sign) making it illegal? There's loads of info via google, some quite useful, might refresh my understanding tomorrow.

Regardless, cyclists riding slowly on a footway amongst pedestrians ringing their bell frantically should be policeable by vigilantes, IMO. Get on the road.

Anyway, was still an entertaining catch up with half the posts missing.

I think it's fine for kids- and adults who dress like Angus Young should be allowed, however anyone above the age of puberty who is dressed appropriately to their age can GTFO

There was a time lights weren't mandatory either I think. In a well lit urban area in nice weather conditions, most attentive drivers should see an unlit cyclist, as they'd be expected to see pedestrians.

Should all pedestrians wishing to cross roads carry lights? /troll
