At All Cool, Or Just Nuts?

? Cite please!

 

Really? Oh, ta. Another mong, then. Well, they always find ukrm a
tough gig

 

**** off with your drug fuelled fantasies. Nobody would believe that
crap.
..

 

Now I *know* you're lying.

I had the pleasure of watching yet another cyclist-on-cyclist
collision last night, as one sailed blithely across an intersection
(at night, dark clothes, no lights) and collected one who actually had
right of way. BANG! And there's one sprawling in the raid puddles.
Larf? I nearly shat.

That makes four blue-on-blue, on my daily commute, in about nine
months.

(I was so tempted to x-post this to the cycling ng....)

 

I'd agree with that, round my neck of the woods, too.

 

Bullshit!

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off
the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the
Tanhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in
rain. Time to die.

 

hey, you so 'rigonal...

 

You know, it must just be London, because I never see stuff like that
in Worcester, Solihull, Birmingham or even Edinburgh. And being a
cyclist, I tend to watch them.

 

It may well be a London phenomenon. Seat-of-the-pants estimate, from
my daily commute, is that 20-25% jump red lights. I can pretty much
guarantee to find some twonk cycling the wrong way down the narrow
street in the City that leads to my office three days out of five.

Oh, and sweeping generalisation: anyone on a fixed-wheel is a complete
****. Worst of the lot.

 

*ding*

I always stop at red lights. I sometimes think these tales are
exagerated, but that would never happen on UKRM right?

 

And you wonder why BT never show up on time. Tsk.

 

The nice thing to do is lurk and read the fucking FAQ. But you know that.

 

If the tale involves London then there is no exaggeration. The pink lycra
brigade just don't give a toss.

 

It's OK to tell tall stories and regurgitate anecdotes, but to tell a
fucking bare faced lie is unacceptable.

I feel dirty.

 

Oh yes it does!

Is it panto season on your side of the water?

 

I don't wonder at all, I don't do BT.

 

You would have loved what I saw a couple of weeks ago in Holborn. I was
walking towards the junction of High Holborn and Southampton Row where
HH is one way. Cyclist comes riding down the road, third lane across
against the traffic flow. He had just ridden across the junction with
Southampton Row!

Behind him are two police cyclists who catch him up and give him the
bollocking of his life. Ironically it seemed he was on a test ride from
the cycle shop (Cycle Surgery) at the junction of High Holborn and Drake
St.

From the look on his face as he passed me he really had no appreciation
he was in completely the wrong place going the wrong way nor that the
cops were behind him. It was really quite surreal.

 

I always used to nip up on the pavement and go round em.

I once spent a week in London on a course. I was walking a lot, and those
traffic lights and ped crossings are very dangerous to cross at without
first leaning out past the stationary vehicles, because there is often a
cyclist at full pelt ignoring the crossing/lights.
