Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

Just had an incredibly silly moment at a roundabout, confusing my lefts and rights. Too ashamed to go into it...I am an idiot.

Why do I ever think that a discussion with one of a cocks who commutes on an MTB in his fucking football/rugby kit with a muddy stripe up his arse will ever end any other way than with me calling him a "fucking cunt".

I start with good intentions trying to point out that with his stupid wide bars overtaking me with a 2 foot gap on my right to a bus as I slow for some lights might be a bit dangerous for us both, but when he tells me "to read the highway code" and "you were in the middle of the road and didn't know where you were going" and "the lights were about to change and you slowed down too quickly" it's just too much.

Everyone on CS7 last night was a fucking bellend. I only called one person out and that was for essentially pushing me into the path of a car so I think they deserved to be shouted at. Everyone else deserved some cycle training or to have the stabilisers on their bikes put back on.

Cyclists in Southwark are often terrible

Ha! Lots of these around, usually hilariously unfit and riding with same kit in all weathers.

Riding in shorts in sub zero temps doesn't make you 'hard' it just means you're stoopid!

I always assumed that the combination of football shorts and tights was some sort of Bikeradar look - a bit like the forum cap.

+1, I have come to think of my fellow cyclists so dressed as "Bradars", or if describing the situation to someone Boardman-Brad, Hump-Brad, No-lights-Bradette etc.

Any cyclist without a front light in the dark.
Any cyclist who's only lights are on their head.

Ha, Boardman and a Hump. Then you know you're doing it right.

My theory, if you care to know, is that the rugby/football kit chumps (for this is what they appear to be, to a man) own only one set of clothes suitable for 'sport' and what you are seeing is this very kit.
As the rest of the wardrobe consists of suits, blue jeans, deck shoes and pale blue long-sleeve shirts, there is no other option for undertaking the Herculean effort of a 3 mile commute.

These people have probably never chosen their own clothes, going straight from school uniform to business uniform, with the weekend clothes essentially a uniform for those who have no idea what to wear when given free reign. Their clothes would have been chosen by their mothers, and still are, unless they are married in which case their wives choose.

These people are also a disgrace to humanity, they may not know it but they are, and should be made to pay.

Damn...off to Westfield with me at the weekend then.

Better take the missus in case I pick the same stuff again.

Jeans, check
deck shoes, check

3 miles? sounds a bit far for me.
disgrace to humanity, jackpot

I feel I must defend (some of) the good folk at BR. At the very least I'll defend the Commuting section.

^ You are approving of the shorts and tights image?

Oi! What's wrong with the shorts and tights look??

^ You are approving of the shorts and tights image?

The BR Communting folk initially wear that type of garb until they post their first message, are royally abused/laughed at, then see the light. A bit like this site really :-).

I always wear tights under my jeans.

RPM, I wish I could rep you more than once for that post.

Also the opposite is true, I recently turned up for a kick about in the park in spd shoes, mbt shorts and forum top.

Cafewanda just made me realise that lfgss has definitely become that which it ran from. Bike radar commuting section. I'm not gonna lie down and take it.

Get your fucking, syphilitic tights off, put them on your head and rob a liquor store for fifteen cans of cider. Now, put them in a bag, ride around London in the middle of the night and get paralytic. Hey presto LFGSS. Cunts.

what

He called you a cunt. do 'im

But please make sure you stop at lights, don't undertake, have lights on our bike and use the primary position where possible as well as shouting in a patronising manner at all other cyclists that they need cycle training. Hey presto LFGSS 2012. Cunts.
