Stop for a Lollipop?

Schools here went back last week.

2nd day back (Friday) I saw a bloke "Jump a Lollipop" at a manned pelican crossing (light was green but stick was still up and kids were still crossing) passing between the Lollipop lady and a - possibly pre-school - kid.. He was stood up in the pedals and trying to go flat out

Little girl jumped out of her skin, her granny was visibly distressed and needed sat down and comforted and the lollipop lady was livid.


I don't normally do the "disgusted from Tunbridge Wells" thing but that was bang out of order.

    Should've stuck the lollipop thro the spokes, dangerous, ignorant tw*t.
  • wtf is it with these "must keep going at all costs" riders?

    I dread the numpty cyclists as much as the motorists these days

    You guys are missing the point though. It's not cyclists, or motons, but simply tossers who do this kind of thing. The mode of transport is not relevant, the selfishness is.

    True.

    I sometimes read responses on here and think "thank god you're not driving a car!"
