At All Cool, Or Just Nuts?

Heh. Plod have the occasional blitz in the City, and pull them over and
nick them. Good job, say I.

 

I've seen things you people... oops. China: on some roads I've seen
six 'official' lanes (three each way) plus a sort of cyclist/electric
moped lane that may or may not be ridden in the same direction as the
other traffic.

Makes crossing the road as a pedestrian tricky. Cars that want to turn
in to or out of side turnings generally just barge their way through.

 

I was waiting to board a bus in Princes St when a lycra lout came
barrelling down the inside, clocked the queue and jammed on his
stoppers. He went down in a most satisfying tumble of gears, lycra,
water bottles and silly helmet.

 

Along the pavement on Cable St is Barclays Super Cycle Highway #2
(iirc)

Where Cable St meets Leman St (X-roads) there are lights. There are
een "special" lights for cyclists, so that they can go about their
merry way, unmolested by motorised traffic.

Is that good enough for them? Is it arseholes.
Switching lanes, leaving the cycleway, and re-joining the road, then
even cycling across the junction when *all* the lights are red (except
for peds).

This includes those arseholes from Darwin's Deli with their big
****-off trailers full of overpriced sandwiches.

Gassing's too fucking good for 'em, iyam.

 

Indeed, for we are properly known as internally-combusted motorised
velocipedians or, possibly in the demotic, motor-bicyclists; as
'bikers', never.

 

We live 4 doors down from a primary school.

The best example I have of what a bunch of thoughtless entitled c**nts they
are is when we had a brick delivery at 8.30am last year (you really have no
control over when things arrive unfortunately). You'd think that I wouldn't
have to argue that much to explain why it's a bad idea to lead your child
underneath a crane holding a pallet of bricks rather than using the
pavement on the opposite side of the road.

 

**** 'em.

Just stand back with a video camera.

 

And a fish slice to scoop up the bits.

 

Then again, some people think it's OK to play matador on an 8 lane
super highway with your family.

A good friend, who works the highway as a federal fireman, has to go
out and scrape up the bodies. His buddies call it the DMZ - Dead
Mexican Zone.
