^^ But I'm talking about people who squeeze up the inside of a huge vehicle that is obviously turning into their path at speed. Like Indiana Jones rolling under a closing door. It's sheer lunacy.
They wouldn't jump out in front of a moving lorry when crossing the road as a ped, so why do something just as dangerous when cycling?
Thank God they get away with it, but it's scary to watch.

barclays cunt this morning, trying to overtake a bus from left turning from euston road to great portland st almost got himself killed
Every week I see at least one nodder dart up the inside of a left-turning bus or lorry. I honestly can't fathom what's going through their minds.

Saw the shocking account on Reddit last night, just horrible. Poor chap.
I don't know whether to be angry or sad. Wish there was a truly effective way to prevent these tragedies.

My manager says I can make an Olympics themed shop display if I can think of something that won't get the company fined thousands of pounds. Fuck yeah! Anyone already had a brainwaves they want to suggest before I put my thinking hat on?
A bike shop in East Sheen has coloured Olympic rings made from bike wheels hanging n the window. I'm surprised the brand police haven't knobbled them yet.
How about an elegant ribbon of sweetie wrappers in olympic colours, with a chocolate-soiled mannequin breaking the ribbon as if winning the Type 2 Diabetic Coma Sprint?

BBC journo David Bond is getting a kicking on Twitter for insulting Cav. Stick him on a Halfords bike and make him climb Box Hill. The public demands rough justice.

Because this is not about the sports or the fans, but the sponsorship and the money?
It's a bloody disgrace.

Why are all the stadia so empty?

Stadium is empty! Everyone left to get the last tube.

Everyone is so angry out there. I saw an articulated lorry go on the rampage in Marylebone this morning, jumping red lights and smacking his trailer off the central bollards. Scary as fuck.

Brand new BMX freewheel is catching when I freewheel and occasionally "goes fixed", launching me into the air.
Two questions:
a) is it fucked?
b) did I do something stupid to fuck it? -
oh ffs please don't
Don't worry. We shan't besmirch this forum's outstanding reputation.
I've just found out that all roads in Richmond Park are closed from 10am on Friday! I was hoping to burble across to Bushy Park/Hampton Court for a picnic and a few beers, but now it's turning into an expedition.
Anyone else got suggestions for prime spots?

They're back! Aaaaaagh!
