• I was called out for being a "typical arrogant cyclist" on Monday evening.

    At the end of Embankment, just as the lights were turning green for traffic turning right onto Parliament Square, I called out another cyclist for dinging his bell and riding straight at the pedestrians that were still on the road as the lits changed, causing them to alternately scatter and freeze.

    In his words, I should only do this if I were a police officer, and am otherwise just a typical arrogant cyclist.

    So that's me told then, although I may have just laughed at him as he said this.

  • I told someone off for something like this last week, cyclist deliberately buzzing a lady at speed still crossing the road, scaring the shit out of her in the process. Called him out at the next set of lights, telling him he didn't need to do it. He first denied doing it intentionally, then started ranting about how she should look before crossing (she was crossing before he had even come into sight).

    Some people are just out to prove a point, no matter how much of a cunt it makes them.

  • God, I hate bell tingers. If a pedestrian's in your way or endangering themselves they can hear you if you tell them. With your mouth. The bell is such an barrier-establishing, anti-communication piece of crap.
    All that 'pedestrians in the way' as well. If you think the road is yours just because the lights say so then you're viewing the whole thing as a food chain. Makes you very much like the 'I pay road tax' guys.

  • It's always stunning when people project their own selves onto you. I very rarely know what to do with that.
