Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

Always a joy to bump this wonderful thread.

You know it ain't.

It shouldn't really be 'do you know nothing?', but 'don't you know anything?', and even in this sentence the logic of negation is a problem, as it generally is in English. :)

And no it ain't.

You know it ain't.

And no it ain't.

Can't argue with that.

Two pricks on clown bikes in Putney. Crashing into the back of a people carrier at the lights because of braklezz.

^own up

^^idiots..

I saw two clowns on prick bikes once.

^ forum ride, yes?

One guy on fluro bike and the one who craszhed was on a sick lopro with special braklezz modification.

Plz let there b pics, or it didernt hppn.

Well, I didn't take any. But it happened.

These two cocks are riding around giving YOU a bad name, DJ. What do you propose to do about it?

Tell them to take their bikes to Herne Hill, that'll teach them.

@Woah Cats, thanks. No single amusing incident then.. oh well.

I agree with the above, it is probably flipper floppers who have turned it round to go SS, so now they are SS with one brake. I am trying to remember... the first bike I built (recently - but I used to do it all the time as a kid) was a flip flop (was intrigued by the idea of it). I tried it fixed for a few weeks, fine but I missed freewheeling (for me, is the point of riding a bike, almost) so switched it over to SS. I cannot recall if that meant I was SS/SB or not? It might have been, as I still have a single brake at home, which I think is the one I didn't use from a set. If so, I am sorry.

Cost me about £160 to build the bike - conversion of an old Raleigh, 27" wheels, re-laced the rear rim onto a flip-flop, sold it for £50 through the bay. Was a bargain for someone, I hope they are still enjoying it.

Cracker the other day, I've just remembered it.

A206/Woolwich Road, at the junction with A102.

Cyclist was wearing pink furry headphones, and was all the way to the left of the junction going toward Woolwich.

Lights go green, cyclist sets off and pulls right across all three lanes of traffic, not looking once where she was going, or paying any attention to the cars abruptly standing on their noses to avoid hitting her.

Then why not just jump the red light in the first place?

I cannot recall if that meant I was SS/SB or not? It might have been, as I still have a single brake at home, which I think is the one I didn't use from a set. If so, I am sorry.

You fucking cunt.

Waste of life, burn him!

Uhoh.

I will henceforth ride a bike with three brakes, as a way of making amends. Pictures to follow.

My dad always told me to ride like I was invincible. Hands down, no bullshit, It wasn't till sharing old memories some 10 years ago, just days before he past away, I realised what he really said was ride like you're invisible...

/csb

quite brilliant.

To the courier type who just now completely failed to stop at the junction of New
Cavendish St and Marylebone High St, instead opting to sail on out into the traffic, assuming they would see you and stop:

They didn't, did they?
And you ended up lying in the road looking like a dick, didn't you?

I'm glad you weren't injured, but riding like that it won't be long before your luck runs out dude...

Or fixed with two brakes.

Or fixed with two brakes.

I read that as "fixed with two front brakes" and thought "hm, new trend. Could catch on"

Calling myself out for jumping a red light at the big junction of Deptford church street/Deptford Broadway and almost getting tboned by a car.

Could be done, one fore and one aft of the fork. I was looking at a mtb with the V-brakes behind the fork yesterday evening. I guess it would just need a modified bolt to go right through both sets of calipers and the fork.....
