Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

Was sat at these lights this morning: http://goo.gl/maps/KhLOl

One after one they came, sailing through the red lights like they weren't even there. Decided to shout "Red!" as each came through - need to come up with a tune next time to keep myself entertained.

I can possibly understand someone jumping a red light if perhaps they were distracted, an unused pedestrian crossing or traffic free junction because they were paying attention to another risk or something (I've done it), but while they can see other cyclists or even cars are actually sat waiting? Do they go through thinking they are special or something?

So many prize idiots this mornings.
Serious sympathy for motorists. However getting bored of motorbikes in the bicycle area, when I have to then sit behind then and inhale their exhaust fumes.

The award goes to the dude on a pink Create and brown smoking jacket. Pulled out between cars into middle filtering without anything resembling a look. As I slam on te brakes and say have a look, just gives a brain dead look and proceeds to cut through the inside lane of cars into the opposite lane and cycle up to the lights. The goo g through te lights to sit in the bath area.
What a special sort

I called out a man and woman coming the opposite way on CS3, who drifted through her red into the path of a turning car.

Their blank stares said it all.

I don't understand how some folks have no concept of the danger they put themselves in.

I'm honest enough to say that I've jumped these lights before. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, or using the fact that it's a T junction as an excuse - especially not in rush hour, but when I'm heading West (the same goes for Baywater/Holland Park Road), jumping those T-junction lights is something I do occasionally. Invariably it's at night or late, but still I know I shouldn't.

Making me a bona fide hypocrite is I go mental when I see people jump the lights at the T-junction by Kennington tube. Need to sort out my cognitive dissonance at some point.

Idiot cyclist this morning, turning left on St James Street from Picadilly despite the presence of Old Bill at the lights stopping all traffic. Idiot cyclist finds himself getting screamed at and ends up in the midst of a police motorcade escorting Princess Anne and her husband from the palace.

LOl turns out I was the cyclist. Time to put myself and this thread on ignore methinks

^ Nope. Vigilante would be a baseball bat. A few words (and seeing if they were alright) ain't that. And, yes, I waited alongside to see if he'd take off his headphones to talk to someone else on a bike, but no.

Some absolute bellcheese on Clapham Park Road this morning, happily cycling along on the pavement, across the pedestrian crossing (clue's in the name, mate) and onto the other pavement. All of this while the road was almost completely clear.

Compounded by Brompton riders trying to go up the inside of buses, RLJers a go-go and the general feeling of being in a swarm of arseholes means that quite often the worst thing about cycling to work is the other cyclists.

Quite a few folk on CS7 seem to take that advice rather too literally.

Do they mean brakeless?

Seconded

Do they mean brakeless?
No - they mean that Australians should give up the hope for any medals...

Oh wait....

Wut?

This morning, guy on a black SS with a cunt sticker on the seat post, went up the left of a lorry waiting at lights and then through said red light. I said what I saw...

Hey, dickhead on the red Allez.

If you suddenly undertake some older chap at speed freaking him out, and the older chap starts politely but sternly having a go at you - consider that he might actually be fucking right, don't just laugh at him like the cunt you appear to be.

And when some younger chap passes you and makes a wanker signal in your face, consider that he isn't referring to the older chap behind you, but is in fact making it at you, because you are a wanker.

Should have slapped him, pointed, then made the wanker signal. Much more effective.

Why bother, majority of cyclists are the same idiots who drive. You are wasting your time and energy. They will never see the error of their ways.

^^ Perhaps even shouted, "Hey, dickhead!" to attract his attention first.

I am pretty sure that girl on a hybrid bike was trying to race me after I overtook her on Walworth Road this morning. I didn't mean to overtake her but if she was going as walking speed then what could I have done differently? Anyway, as I was taking a left turn, I felt a bump to my back wheel and guess what? She could brake on time hence she "crashed" onto me. When will people learn not to cycle too close to your fellow cyclists? And most of all, not to "Make the road your velodrome"?

Chap in the Sunday times (Rod Little? some op ed thing anyway) suggested that the increase in cycling was a positive thing as it would lead to a higher number of available organs for transplantation.

Helpful! Really fucking helpful! Is it time to start calling out bad journalists?
