Also,if the new bikes can go up moantains,and through jungle trails,why do these tossers swerve in front of me as soon as they encounter a drain-cover?
Sorry.I'm all better now.
Stamp out toiletism!!!
My girlfriend was nearly killed recently by a "paragon of virtue" in his car that never even bothered to stop to see if she was still alive! As the lights went green she set off and the second car to go past her decided he wanted to turn left before he had got past her as he was obviously far too important to wait his trun until she was clear of the turning. He never stopped to see how she was after she was knocked off. Fortunately the lorry behind him was still going slowly enough to stop before he crushed her and he "only" injury was a fractured elbow and wrist that put her off work for 6 weeks. I'll take my chances jumping the red lights - thankyou!
You try cycling through London before you cast the first stone!
PS this is the forum for an arguement isn't it? C'mon - whose next? Who wants some of me? This ranting is remarkably good at clearing hangovers!
BUUUUUTTTTTTTT.....
What I hate are cyclist who use the pavement as a racing circuit and don't slow down and give way to us pedestrians / runners. I think if cyclists are using the pavement they should go at the pedestrians speed, if they want to go faster then they should use the road.
Whilst I'm on the subject, I also despise cyclist who don't use light on their bike, or who think it's OK to use those not very bright LED's and insist in wearing all black so they are invisible to everyone else. And also cyclist who cycle on the pavement because they haven't got lights and they think that is OK because they are not on the road.
Why don't cyclist use lights these days? Do they realise how invisisble they are, I hate it when I'm running along the canal tow path and they almost run straight into me. When I cycle I got a decent bright light on the front and back and wear fluorescent bib to make me stand out. I even wear a head light and fluor. top when I go out for my runs. It annoys me when I make the effort to be seen and cyclists don't.
Phew, rant over, fell better for that.
BUUUUTTTTTTTT... Surely that's not the point of the "rant thread" - we need diametrically opposed views and some intense ranting!
