your name fits ;p

TBH i find other cyclists more of a pain in the arse than any other road users - i have had more accidents as a result of other cyclists doing stupid things than from any other road user.

With regards to car drivers, i find if you are filtering down the middle of the road, you should be aware that they are less likely to see you because they expect you to be on the pavement side - if you are riding full pelt down the middle then dont be suprised if they dont see you.

If you drove DJ, i expect you would avoid a lot of these incidents as you would have a better awareness of what a driver is likely to do. Know your enemy

not this

absolutely can't stand other cyclists, partly for their irritating antics being fucking annoying (undertaking when waiting at lights then being slow from the off), and partly for their fucking dangerous and wreckless riding causing anxiety. never caused me an accident though.

Are you soft or something?

At the moment, yes. A friendly warning to start off. Full on dirty ear love later. There is no point giving the full-on punishment to start with. The fear of a worse fate should suffice.

Why are there safety adverts for bikers but not for cyclists?

Re-Fucking-Post...

You obviously know that the correct course of action in a situation like this is not to proceed unless you can make eye contact with the driver. If you can't do that, you have to assume that you haven't been seen, and wait.

I always wonder about this. I know it works very well but most of the times I can't see that far to check their eyes - even with my glasses on. And if I'm that close where I can see them, they would need to be blind in order not to see me.

Eye contact is of course made when you're fairly close. Before you get there, you anticipate it--e.g., slow down in preparation. Even if you can't 'lock' eyes with a person, e.g. if the windscreen mirrors the sky, you can still know where their eyes are--they will see yours. They will generally look in the right direction a least briefly and 'eyeballing' them will draw their attention to you. Interestingly enough, eyes are quite an easy thing for us to notice.

@Oliver: Completely true. Unless they can be medically classed as psychopaths drivers will slow down or stop if they can look at you eye to eye. Assuming you haven't previously whacked their wing mirror or spat on their bonnet.

I've revised my position.

James is right. The roads are populated with stupid, murderous fuckwits.

...as are banks and call centres.

Worst fucking morning of fuckwittery I've ever experienced.

And huge numbers of fatso's falling asleep at the wheel:

Check the stats, it's all gone pearshaped.

..."But the risks of living with the condition were graphically illustrated by another study, which calculated that people with severe sleep apnoea were between six and 15 times more likely to be involved in a road traffic accident. "

oh boy

*Britain's leading sleep experts believe that nearly one in six lorry drivers could have sleep apnoea - that's nearly 80,000. *

a dozy fat twat walked out in front of me the other day

me "oi! fat lady watch where you are going"
her "what did you say"
me "at least you knew who i was shouting at"

last night i shouted "oi, watch out" fucking loudly at some peds
one shouted back even louder "OK!"
it brought a huge smile to my face, just a simple bit of humorous banter on the roads

I have been diagnosed with severe sleep apnoea.

:/

Going in to hospital in April.

Maybe it was my fault.

You serious?

Yep... I've posted about it previously in the insomniac thread. Its a cunt... pardon the french.

I had apnoea. Then I underwent a uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.

It hurts like a MOTHERFUCKER. But I'm better now.

Just read properly up there ^.

Is that what you're having Balki?

uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.

Commed, for obvious reasons.

Sorry to hear that mate, good luck with the operation.

That can be bad--any idea of the causes?

Thats what Im hping for in April, ru... Though I cant spell it.

The other option is that they will give me C-Pap, which I'd rather avoid. Im only 29 so apparently Im a good candidate for the surgery. I've done 2 sleep studies which revealed that I am cactus.

Did you go to ENT in Clerkenwell?
