On the way home tonight in a not very well lit street in New Malden, I pass going the other way the outline of some guy on a mountain bike, no lights, no reflectors, hoody up, riding no hands and talking into a mobile phone.
Any bets on how long it might be before he improves the species by removing himself from the gene pool?

This is fun til one of them steps into you. I got wiped out by a bike ninja kid on a BMX when I was doing 25 mph, and a week and a half later, I still can't ride.0 -

I suspect he'll actually never be involved in any type of incident and go on to lead a long and fruitful life! Very few people come a cropper on the roads.Still breathing.....0 -
Passed about 6 people with no lights last night, one of whom was negotiating Vauxhall at 6:30 or so, and 2 that were weaving in and out if traffic in Battersea clad completely in black. Moronic.

until a car does the same to a tuned out cyclist and then they're scum on here.

TBH, the ninja's will be fine - somehow motorists seem to miss them. Loads caught out on my commute this morning, raining, heavy clouds, very dark............lots of ninja's in black bumbling along in the gutter, wobbling through red lights. Some with lights, not switched on, some with lights that were poor.
Tis life.............0
