Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

Maybe if you were a bit faster people wouldn't be in front of you?

"Nodders without mudguard when it's wet. Don't then come and cycle infront of other people.Nice muddy face now!"

"Maybe if you were a bit faster people wouldn't be in front of you?"

"^Rep!"

Ha!

Must try harder!

I got called out by a shopper lady today when she undertook me just before a junction I intended to turn left at, preventing me from getting on the utter left hand side of the road. I put my left arm out to make my turning left intentions perfectly clear, in case she was planning on going straight or right.

When the traffic light turned green, of course, she goes straight, and doesn't give me the space, I say "I'd like to turn left here please". She says "Well get in the FOOKING LEFT THEN INNIT". I say "I would love to but your fat ass is in the way". She started screaming, I called her a cunt. We both went our separate ways.

Previous to this, she undertook me at a zebra crossing I was waiting at and gave a fright to some poor chap.

Maybe I shouldn't have called her fat, or a cunt, but it felt good.

Yeah, sorry man. That was me. Bad hair day.

I see no inconsistency here.

Sounds to me like you need to find the pot holes and practice on them at the lights a bit more.

Having been commuting up the A2/tottenham court road the last few years (Elephant and Castle namely) I've seen plenty near misses. (including getting hit by a plank on a motorbike)

Most of them come down to drivers and cyclists, just needing to chill out and let it go.

Chilling out especially the waterloo bridge sprint, and for what just to get stuck at the old Vic.

As above the oval/brixton turn is bad, but just go for the right lane for brixton? See lots of cyclists signalling but then by not being in the right/pronouced road position cars think they can just go round you....

Calling out myself, I hope none of you saw me this morning.

^What did you do?

Calling out myself, I hope none of you saw me this morning.

I did! And you should be bloody well ashamed of yourself!

We want the details!

We want the details!

Don't ask me, the trauma scrubbed the details from my memory and I'm just left with a lingering sense of horror and disgust.

^What did you do?

Dodged into a left hand lane (out of two) between a bus and car as the car was also turning into the lane. So patently obvious the car was about to do it, even though it wasn't indicating.

Then I blazed through a red light on Newington Butts not 5 minutes later into oncoming traffic.

Just one of those "what was I thinking" mornings - if I had seen myself I would have thought "WAC".

Not worth a rider down thread but 5.50pm tonight junction of Drummond St/Hampstead Road I witnessed the immediate aftermath (was fiddling with my Garmin at crucial moment) of a masssively failed RLJ involving a bloke on some kind of folding bike and a scooter.

Bloke was stopped at red on other side of Hampstead Rd and I was stopped outside the Peoples Theatre, when there was bit of a lull in Hampstead Rd traffic traffic.

I was looking down to turn on my Garmin when there was a shout and a massive bang and when I look up there's a bike in bits in the road with the rider still on his feet and a scooter skidding to a halt on it's side, rider also still on his feet.

As I didn't actually see what happened I can't work out how the hell both riders emerged unscathed
unless they simultaneously bailed and it was just the vehicles that collided.

Riding brakeless, not like a cunt but brakeless nonetheless, I'm not really one to judge...

*whatacunt ;-)

Saw someone riding fixed get pulled over down by Bishopsgate tower yesterday. Two policemen hiding around the corner catching people on the RLJ I assume.

Congratulation on the police officier then.

to the dickhead on a gery/green/duck shit colour single speed with no rear brake, wearing a duffle coat who just undertook me outside LMNH, 20 seconds after i pull out, shouting "matematematematemate", then swerving side to side on the bus lane slowing down everyone else, your a dick.

Turn out I posted this on the wrong topic.

Should be in that police spotting topic.

it sounds like you may have pulled out into his path when he had the priority

what would you feel about a car that pulls out in front of you when you are riding along?

it sounds like you may have pulled out into his path when he had the priority

Doesn't sound like that to me.

i read it he started at lmnh and was undertaken outside lmnh, so either kkkkkkk was going extremely slowly or it was less than 20 seconds into his journey

Some clarification would help, kkkkkkk is currently treading a thin line...
