Thing is, I like the word nodder - but not when it's conjoined with the word 'cunt' or 'twat' or whatever with so much bile. It moves from being quite funny (it is funny), to snobby and tribal. That's my view anyways. But what do I know? I've got a wardrobe covered in pictures of Fox Mulder and I'm 28.

Firstly, glad you're not hurt, secondly: unless someone actually intended to knock me off my bike, I'd never swear at them like that, no matter how close the call.* It's pointless. I'm pretty liberal with cunny word, but we all make mistakes and there are better ways of telling someone that they almost killed or hurt you than screaming like a maniac because you think you have the right to. Chances are, the driver would be more cautious after a near miss like yours.

Yes, you have the right to be angry, but I don't think it's helpful for cyclists more generally when you scream cunt. We're always at risk of horrible accidents, so if it's a near miss, deal with it in a way that the driver goes away shaken, but less likely to make that same mistake again or with a hatred for potty mouthed cyclists.

Likewise, I understand this nodder business, but aren't we just straying into snobbery now? We're all cyclists, and clearly some of us are more experienced and into bikes than others - but 90% of the people on this forum want to see cycling increase across London (i'm judging) - but when it does, it's 'nodder twat this' and 'nodder sploink that.'

Look; my mum, by definition, is a 'nodder', but it's taken so much to get her on to a bike and make her feel confident that I don't like using the term in anything but a jovial way. We all deal with the same risks and problems as cyclists, so why insist on setting up so many different tribes? It's bad enough as it is.

Lambaste away...

*if someone intentionally tried to knock me off my bike, or if they were stoned or drunk I'd kick the shit out of them/their car and yes, call them a cunt until my eyes exploded.

He tried to kick you off your bike?! Fuuuuck. I've got a new route to work that involves almost back streets only now. It's a flippin' warzone on some of London's roads. I hope you catch/castrate the knob.

Ah-ha. And thank-you for not calling me a retard.

And gosh; I'm off the black now and like that 'pretty mint green.' Flippin' sweet.

Ahem.

Okay. now, *don't *call me a retard for this, but do you have to remove your BB before getting it coated? It's a pain in the ass to get out and I don't know if it's possible to just protect it and save that bother.

You don't want to ride around on something that looks even remotely like this hunk of dog shit.

okay, shitter on goths and drama students...but mostly neat stuff.

I'm going to have mine done...in black. Balls to all these happy hues. Air Wolf? The A-Team? Knightrider?

That's what my Fist O' Punches did.

I fucking love Black Flag.

Lips. It's lips, isn't it?

p1ssing off motorists and looking at all the lovely laydeeeez out there in central London, role on spring and summer ;o)))

Fonzarelli, I don't underdstand your smiley face. Does he have three mouths, or a double chin or what?

MJS, I was riding alongside you then all that way and never noticed you filming?!

(I'm the blue shirt with my ripped bum pocket riding from the West). Anyways, sweet video.

I often wonder if I'm the same species as some people.

Discarding the punishment, where's the deterrent to other apes? It really does defy belief. Would the family of the cyclist be able to appeal against that decision? His original term was lax enough, and why don't they dish out life time driving bans for such retarded behaviour?

"Hey, don't you drive?"

"No, I kill people when I do and don't even notice and when I'm caught I'm a turd about it."

That is fucking disgusting.

Apparently tetradecagon is the new round. My new pink tetradecagon wheels are the flippin' business.

There are a few standard rules to lighten up the journey.

The Tube equivilent of a nodder is a Wheely (Someone with a suitcase light enough to carry but they insist on pulling it a metre behind them). General consensus on dealing with a Wheely is to either kick the suitcase or stick a foot under it and go for the tip. This makes overtaking alot easier. You get extra points if the suitcase is pink.

Ha ha. I love the way they'll stop at the top or bottom of stairs to pull the little handle back up as people crash into the back of them.

The only other points-based game I've played on the tube is track standing in a carriage as it moves. It's hard work, but worth a go.

(and I was only on the tube with my bike cuz it was raining and I was tired and drunk and blah blah).

^stick a monkey mask on him and we're all fucked.

hmmm, if you're gonna ride in jeans, best make them skinny. Can you imagine if it was 1994. Eclipse jeans? Gah.

Last time I took the tube in rush hour I had a massive panic attack there were so many people rammed in there and I arrived at my destination with a cold.

How the fuck do they do it? Every day?! I'd fucking kill myself.

I have some lycra, but my legs are so skinny I have to wear shorts over them because people would shout nasty things at me as I rode past.

"you look like a girl."
"you look like speghetti."
"you look like a twat."

Do hipsters wear helmets? I wear a normal helmet 70% of the time. I'm safe.

Ewwww.

I've come to terms with my B.O, now it's time for everyone else to come to terms with it. Be it a wedding, job interview, funeral or hot date.
