A post full of assumptions — If you just worried about yourself and stopped being so self righteous then the world would be a better place.

If everyone just worried about themselves the world would be a worser place than it is today - imagine that.

I'd be interested to find out what happened as there are a couple of effin terribly deep manhole covers in cycle lanes on my route...

surely you should say something?

red!

Some city boy on a Boris Bike, straight through a red from Old Broad St turning right onto London Wall, straight in front of cars waiting and gives em the finger when doing so, what a cunt.

A TfL spokesman said: "There has been an 18% fall in the number of cyclists killed or seriously injured on London's roads in the last decade, compared to the TfL's baseline figures from the mid to late 1990s."

Bollocks!

Terrible stat, what are they basing the number of cyclists on? Too many questions, not enough answers. Lies, damn lies.

RIP cyclist

This is truly painful, hugo7. :)

Nothing more so than a misplaced apost.

But please dont pretend to call your imaginary controller just to look cool. . .I've seen this happen in Brick Lane ON A SUNDAY and it cracked me up, and made me feel strangely smug!!

Maybe he was undercover filth?

i reckon the feds are dead right on this one.

Innit

The fucking shit roads in Waltham Forest.

^ You can't argue with idiots, where was it?

What bit of the road? Hate that road with a passion, come in from Walthamstow & even prefer the Tottenham Hale/Ferry Rd in comparison

No but I suspect that Mariner did once he had disengaged his lips from van Rapist's knob.

Before or after he let a clear foul go for Chelsea's 3rd?

And what was the chanting? I'm dying to hear this one....

What a find! Really would make my day seeing that.

RED

CW has to have something on that, that's one of the heaviest policed (albeit private) areas in London.

Good luck.

Just a thought; if this happened 3 times then either this 'bellend' is a lot quicker than you or jumping red lights doesn't actually get you where you are going any sooner.

Sounds like a good Harry Enfield sketch

RED!

something doggy here

No way could someone called "Hugh" be a tea leaf

How would one know if someone is racing you and not just doing it for their own fitness?

I actually thought it was rather pleasant this morning, coming down from 7Sisters to the City, last night though there were some absolute weapons on 2 wheels, best let them go ahead and battle amongst themselves i've quickly learnt.

If you have to ask, then clearly you are not one of the chosen few..

I'm with bethandr, best get a cape.

I'm thinking some sort of Stonecutters type thing, initiating tests & at the end a unique tattoo / handshake to know one another.

^ what's an advanced cyclist and what qualifications do I need to tell people I am one?

I saw someone on the phone and smoking whilst taking their kids to school on my commute this morning. I was so disgusted, I wrote a letter to my M.P. The first time I have ever been moved to take action, asking why it is legal to smoke with children in the car. You may as well just hand them a pack of cigarettes you in-bred cunts

They probably do

It's ruddy bloody baking at the moment, I'm kind of looking forward to it being terrible conditions again but I feel I may regret thinking that way.

Police woman on a bike this morning on the Holborn Viaduct entrance to Holborn Circus issuing tickets to motorcyclists in the ASL.

I was very tempted to applaud.

Now this has to be a better money spinner than RLJers.

An article on Melbourne Ghost Bikes being removed. Really hope they find a way to keep them.

Anyone cycled in Melbourne? Is it as bad as some of the comments make out?

Ghost bikes I think are becoming essential, a real sober reminder that you don't need to dwell on. And to call these "distractions" is beyond a joke, some of the advertising they have in Aus shouldn't be legal on the side of the road.

I've had a pretty 'meh' experience at BLB. I lived just up the road for them for a time, and my one big purchase from them was a pair of their Rino track pedals. 4 wks after buying one of the cages cracked. I returned the pedals and was offered another pair at half price. Meh. I bought these and the same thing happened.

Until yesterday I had no further business with BLB. My lovely girlf who is not much into bikes used my last innertube and wanted to buy more for the house. Taking the 20-28mm box into BLB and asking for 'exactly the same' she got sold 2x £5.95 28mm-36mm tubes. This for me really sums up the idea that bike shops will sell whatever they can to people they feel won't know the difference. How can BLB, where 90% of the bikes in their shop have tyres of 23mm, fail to match an innertube when presented with a box of what needs replacing? I feel they've fobbed my girlfriend off with tyres they wanted to get rid of. Either that or the sales person couldn't match an innertube. Either way, I won't be going back.

I was thinking about having a gander in there on Saturday as am tentatively i the market for a new frame, I have to say i'm hardly filled with confidence by this thread.
