Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

That's sweet.

I asked some nodder to come back and talk to me.. he declined. He had just ridden straight through the green man which me and my children were crossing on. Three year old is on a scooter and out ahead, this cunt missed him by a bit, but not much of a bit. I pointed out that there were children on the crossing and did he want to come back for a chat. He didn't.

The other cyclists waiting were embarrassed for him, and for themselves by association I think.

rant.

Cough, cough, just rant>>>>>>>>

Yeah, sorry.

Btw, I was not proposing violence.. I wanted him to explain why he thought it was OK. But not too concerned if he thought I was, and was a little shaken by the experience. My wife was, she gets really upset when people are so careless with the safety of other people's children.

In truth though, I was calling out a bad cyclist, so it does seem to belong in this thread<<<<<<<<<<<

Ahem, surely this is the right thread to relate to us the tale of how you called the bad cyclist out? <<<<<<

Agreed

Cough, nudge, wink, touches nose, rant thread>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Good point, we shouldn't be moaning about what thread this post belongs in in this thread. We should rant about it in the rant thread and cross thread back to here.

I am not sure I fully follow this. Thread about bad cyclists. Post about bad cyclists on thread about bad cyclists....

Mind you, I am trying to follow this on my phone while I ride...

Not really

Did you miss the wink and the nose touching?

Fixed?

T'internet innit? I can't see who the winking and nose touching is for.

Wrong fucking post.

1st rule of fight club shit innit.

It's like casually trying to pass someone some drugs without anyone noticing but then tripping, sneezing and blowing a cloud of white powder into the bouncers face.

Aaaahhh, sorry. You are right. I thought you were calling me out on content... let me get right to that.

#onlytryingtomakefriends.

Ha.

I think you handled that with the right amount of subtlety.

Handled what? Nothing happened here, move along now people.

l AM KNOWN FOR BElNG SUBTLE.

You can change that to "wrong post" then.

Fuck no.

That's OK, just wondered.

er....you have some white shit on your top lip and nose...

No, I don't. Just know when not to bother. No pointing shouting and getting angry or rude on the Internet - guy can just say "fuck no" again. What can you do? I'm at work with some "major incident" shit going off, so busy enough.

Sorry, man, tongue firmly in cheek, I'm only messing.
