I am all in favour of all these new cyclists in London, love it, but...
this morning on embankment had already spotted a lovely red scott (with flats?!) cycling erratically, stayed clear, overtook, though nothing of it.
Just by embankment tube was chilling at the lights, he comes flying into me, nearly knocks me off then pushes on ahead, with the lights on red, im shouted, EXCUSE ME! he turns round and snarls, i said it!
where are the manners now a days, noone brought up properly? tsk tsk

Some guy did that to me when I was waiting at some traffic lights in Kirkham, Lancashire. I hate nothing more than seeing cyclists go through a red light without a good reason...it really gives the rest of us a bad name.0

For some reason I get a mental image of a really camp cyclist giving you the come on0 -
You should have chased him down and kicked him in the shins.Not climber, not sprinter, not rouleur0

Out of my way fools!
What were we talking about?
Oh! Cycling?
As you were....Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.0 -
Phew! Thought this was gonna be another "...why doesn't every other cyclist (who I've never met before and probably will never see again) have a cheery conversation with me at the lights, blah, blah, blah...."
Anyway, back to the OP, you kinda wish people like that were weeded out by natural selcetion (i.e. Darwin Award), however, in reality they are more likely to cause an accident than become apart of one :roll:0 -
Are you saying I should kill them? For my own safety?0

That's one way of looking at it... No, I'm not advocating murder just hoping Karma will do it's thing...0 -

I'm getting to appreciate your sense of humour (especially the RLJ comment on other thread), it is just a joke right... :shock:0 -

Death's too good for rude people. Keep them alive and make them suffer!
How about endless repeats of "To the Manor Born"? :evil:The older I get the faster I was0 -
I guess some people were just born cocks...0

There's one cock in every room.
If you walk in and having sized up those already present and you can't easily work out who's the cock....
It's you.Fixed gear for wet weather / hairy roadie for posing in the sun.
What would Thora Hurd do?0 -

Problem with that is, if you are a cock (yes I can be so maybe proving my point) you kinda think everyone else in the room is a cock - as it can't be you right...0 -
Was that the moderator? I'm sure I wrote cock...0

Amuzing myself with the automated changes now
OK, I'll leave it alone....0 -
Some fool on a brand new bike did that to me a couple of weeks back - passed me and cut in so fast I nearly went into a lamppost - shouted 'OI' but all I got was a blank stare - to**er :roll:0
