    Well they really really peed me off this morning. It was like watching blind sheep cross en mass except that they let all the vehicles go through but step down when a bike is close by. Spoilt my overall ride which was great up until that moment,

    Please somebody tell me it's legally ok to plough through them!! :twisted:

    every day, every fcuking day.

    Your ped light is not green, you have traffic turning into the road you’re crossing from behind you as their light is green, it might be worth a glance to see that I’m not going to nearly clip you.

    Also to the idiot girl no a kona who ran into me thismorning, next time either

    a) use your eyes to work out all of us in front of you have stopped.
    b) Run into me at a decent enough speed to bugger my back wheel so I can claim the damage (and the dent from a pothole last month) means you pay for a new one!

    Here is mine for the day :oops: at the local infant school there is a serious narrowing of the road reducing it to 1 lane this is a safety issue, at the appropriate times there is also a "lollipop man" so far so good. But then the pudding uses his lollipop to stop the traffic for adults, result huge tailbacks! to my certain knowledge there has been no accident on this road for 33 yrs. No doubt some jobsworth with letters after his name is patting himself on the back, so called traffic calming measures!

    New tyres really bug me, you just cannot trust them until you've had a fair few miles on them. After cycling into dover at the weekend and ending up accidentally drifting both wheels round a corner I now have no confidence in the front tyre to grip enough to stop quickly, which resulted in me crossing a zebra crossing when a ped appeared next to it...


    Thankfully he seemed okay with my apology for crossing it anyway.


    Also tyres that cut really badly when you accidentally lock up the rear :? Practically ruined a brand new pro 3 20mm tyre trying to stop in time.

    Bl@@dy councils. You'd think if your going to divert traffic from one road closed to another road closed you would have signs informing people how to get around them.

    But no that would require some intelligence.

    Tut, tut Suzyb you, as a cyclist, are supposed to have inbuilt satnav for such a situation :)

    I got the train home today, I'll be travelling both ways by train tomorrow and in again on Friday. I can't believe I ever used to pay though the nose for that. It's cost me over £37 for public transport for two half days and a whole one!

    18 days after I buy a new bike from Evans, the front brakes completely fail. Buggers better be prompt in taking it in and fixing it.

    Why does the summer bring out legions of idiots on bikes riding the wrong way in the dark , on the pavement and without lights at night? (many of whom are fully grown adults that look like they aught to know better) I much prefer riding at night in the winter. At least the idiots with no lights are most likely dead, and Im the only one on the road. YAYYYY

    To the male cyclist who went through a read light and almost knocked me off my bike this morning @ Kennington Oval: YOU ARE A TW@T!!!! Oh, and the lorry driver behind you was laughing his head off. You idiot! :x :x :evil:

    To the stupid ped @ The Cut who couldn't be bothered to drag his sorry arse a couple of yards to the zebra crossing: consider yourself lucky I was on a bike, you stupid tw@t!! I hope you get hit by a car!!!

    To the ped @ Cannon Street who crossed with the red man on, and asked me "can't you wait? NO, I F***ING CAN'T WAIT!!!! I HAVE THE GREEN AND I AM LATE FOR WORK!!!!

    And a taxi driver also pissed me off, but I think 3 in a day is enough for now.

    Four attrocious examples of bad driving by black cabs in 20 miles yesterday. Running red lights, passing/cutting up, attempted left hook. Tossers doing all taxi drivers a dis-service. If you're going to pretend to be a professional driver, be professional. Don't be a tw@.

    so true, i save £50-75 a week (go in from different places during the week), must be nearer £100 as i bring my own lunch, more like £120 with no gym membership. and i know my way round london so much better than colleagues and friends as they all go by tube, missing out on lots of the sights..
