Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

I don't understand what's happening in this thread.

:(

Bad cyclists and the difficulties of making sarcasm clear on t'interwbz.

I think like I said before, t'internet innit? No one can see you smile (or where your tongue might be) on the internet.

Is all good.

After that last tongue comment, I'm not sure I want to understand what's happening on this thread.

:(

I am never shouty or angry, internet or otherwise, I am quite rude though.

Is it time to rim bad cyclists?

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.

bravo

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.

Reminds me. A friend of mine rang me, I am on the bus, to talk about the party that night. He said his uncle Charlie and his friend Eberneezer were coming and did I want to meet them. I said, aloud on the bus, "Charlie? Eberneezer? Who are you talking about", or something along those lines, "What do you mean? They are coming to the party?", and so on.

I am sure most of the other people on the bus knew what was going on, since I was travelling through Camden at the time.

Met Michael Foot on the same bus, on another day. That was fun, chatted with him most of the way home. Number 24 innit?

Random reminiscances

Ha.

Camden and drugs ennit

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.

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.

that was tynan

Oh no, hang on. It was me

You dick

Sorry man, I was in a hurry to get to bishopsgate to knock that bloke off his Harry hall.

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

The Mayor's not a good rider. He has also consistently refused to consider cycle training.

that was tynan

I was in a hurry, on the way to my parole officer's divorce hearing.

Serial RLJ'r on Edgeware road/Maida vale last night :/

Douche on a Pearson, orange jacket, undertaking me on the Highway this morning.

Calling out whe you're already level witj me is nott acceptable, you fucking cretin.

Criticising my raod position, on the basis that all cyclists should keep left, so as not to piss off drivers, is imbecilic.

Claiming that you know better, because "you race internationally" just makes you a cunt.

I don't give a fuck how youy race, I don't give a fuck how fast you can ride. This is commuting on a A road in the middle of London.

Swerve at me again to try and make a point, and I will fucking hospitalise you.

Mildly annoying then?

pretty chilled by the whole thing.

Douche on a Touche?

A few riders out there in short shorts this morning. Now that is bad cycling. I was minded to call out 'Do you not need your knees after you reach 40 then?'

^ Honest question: Does keeping your knees cold when using them cause damage do you think?

(I am 40+ and my knees are crap - looking for someone to blame)

I believe that putting strain on cold knees causes long term problems. I think RPM told me this, I am sure he will give you the scientific answer, if he can be arsed?

Douche on a Touche?

Touché.
