Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

Surely spitting is fine on your left?

Suppose it depends on whether you're in the left lane or not. If you're in the right hand lane and spitting left when you've got the curb on your right, that's just antisocial :(

Sorry, I meant right. I'm not very good with my left and right.

But you expect everyone else to be?

Spitting isn't ok

Can't no hands?
N'awww gotta learn it you know, it might come in handy one day...

But you expect everyone else to be?

Only when I use them linguistically. I don't make mistakes in practise, but I'm awful when giving directions.

thats me out then, as my wtf going on gesture would very quickily turn into "Oh Shit, I`m gonna crash" gesture

I honestly don't get the mentality of people who pull in front of other cyclists at lights. Particularly big junctions like Vauxhall Bridge Southbound (my nomination for Most Cunts At A Junction Everyday), where they will have had to pass at least 5 others waiting in the correct place to get to their spot.
The people who do it also seem to be the slowest of all the cyclists, tonight I had an overweight woman on a Brompton and a middle aged MTB rider.

Please, someone tell me why people RLJ in this way. If you want to jump the lights then I'll shout RED at you and shake my head, but it's your fucking life. But why RLJ 10 feet and then slow everyone else down? These people must get overtaken every single set of lights they come to and do this, when will it click that they should just wait?

The cold weather is almost worth it as it's 'thinning out' the nodders a bit.
Just needed to get that out.

^ Yes. For. No. Apparent. Reason. I'd gonna have to practice my "wtf you doing" gesture without the habit of including the finger. Maybe wearing mittens might help.

If the hazard is not apparent to you, it might be a good thing they saw it first.

Fixed --> For. No. Reason.
*Judgement made in the 20 seconds that it took for the far banking-back traffic to go around said horse on narrow road. Prolly pulled over to talk on mobile...anyhow, moving on...neighhh :)

'practice' :)

Just because you're clomping along on the road at a snails pace with your swooshy tail and the potential to kick me in the face, doesn't mean you can ignore the fact that you are on a road and would be considered traffic. You a lone horse and rider, can't just stop in the middle of the intersection for no reason.

Ummm...

It's a horse.

They don't have accelerators, brakes, gears or indicating lights. Or the ability to read or post on a forum.

Big, fuck off, hooves in the face if you are stupid enough to get to close though.

Probably can't understand the Highway Code either.

The rider seems to be superfluous to the rant.

They do have swooshy tails, I'll give you that.

The horse that is...

Yeah but horses will take you round the universe and all the other places too?

do you think horse riders DAS* each other ?

Do A Shit?

I keep seeing some dozy ninja chick on a black fixed. No lights. Dressed all in back. No looking over shoulder. RLJing everything without a care in the world (almost T-boning a bunch of cyclists who had right of way this morning)..

You, Miss, are an accident waiting to happen.. I really hope you don't get mown down by a driver on the OKR because they didn't see you (due to your ninja chic) or thrown over the bonnet of a car as you RLJ..

But continue as you do and you will..

Calling myself out. Passed a dude north bound over Waterloo bridge and he did that thing of immediately having to catch up. Fine. I see the light is red and slow down early whilst he races to the red. Eventually everyone gets going toward the national theatre. Again I pass this guy who's now riding in the door zone and again he suddenly feels he must lay down the hammer. I took the bait and sat you wanna race? Come on then! And hit that obscured bend with a zebra crossing on the apex....you know the one that I pass daily inc weekends, that had a ped crossing. I slam on the brakes and had to swerve into the wrong lane...I looked soooooo amateurish. When the sphincter says, 'see what happens?' and to rub the salt with the head shake.
Fucking dick*

*I was bigger dick though. But he is a total pleb**

I was a bigger pleb. I shoulda slapped him*

***I deserved a bigger slap...repeat ad nauseam

ABSOLUTE CLASSIC LAST NIGHT

[FONT=Calibri]So last night im cycling up goswell road towards angel and I see a nodder in front going terribly slow wobbling about. I am catching up with him and see him approach a junction where you have to give way to the right (where the van in the pic is waiting).[/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri]A bus is approaching from the right so [/FONT][FONT=Calibri]I think ‘I wonder whether the cyclist will stop’ and low and behold he carries on and nearly gets squished up against the left handside kerb as the bus has to stop and beeps his horn to say wtf are you doing?![/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri]I shout out ‘you’re trying to get yourself killed mate’ and as i pass him i say ‘mate you trying to WHAT THE FK ITS BORIS JOHNSON HAHA’ [/FONT]

i just wish i was wearing my helmet cam, DAM!

lool. For real? Damn, surely he has been riding around in london long enough to learn how to use the road!?

My pal (Bigpaintbrush on here) was T boned by another rider as he pulled legally through a green light at the Junction nr TK Max Bishopsgate this morning (about 9.10 ish I imagine). Fixeh skiddr on a white Fuji alleycatting through a red simply smashed him off his bike. Bpb has shitted up jeans and bar tape and scuffed up levers on his Harry Hall... Mr Fuji's response... "Sorry mate I thought I saw a gap".

You're 'on here aren't you - you dick? Fess up and cleanse your soul. Oh and count yourself lucky Bpb's a passivist - you drove a fair amount of adrenaline into him and he was miffed. He's a big lad too.

Calling out the dick on Sydenham High St this morning who blew through the red at the ped crossing opposite Natwest. Five peds waiting to cross and you missed the first one by centimetres, you tit.

If this happened to me, it would have ended in GBH. What a cunt

Great Big Hugs?

Yeah a hug, like this
