On the way to work, i need to cross the road, so i use the zebra crossing, traffic slows down, i begin to cross, but a cyclist decides he's overtaking the traffic which has now stopped, missing me by about a foot, im actually a bit dumbfounded, obviously i called him a cockwomble, and some other choice words, but seriously, some people infuriate me beyond belief!!

This happens daily where I live. The cyclists even have the gaul to scream at me for crossing the road where they're cycling.

Some people are just cunts.

Busses: bloody cyclists!

Cars: bloody cyclists!

Lorries: bloody cyclists!

Motorbikes: bloody cyclists!

Pedestrians: bloody cyclists!

Cyclists: I'm doing good for the environment! Everyone else can fuck off!

True but as a mainly pedestrian why does that give cyclists the right to run me over and not take my safety into account? Am I not doing good for the environment too?

We should give everyone respect that shares the road and crossings and pavements. Cyclists seem to be cohort that gives the least amount of respect to everyone. Egalitarian really when you think about it. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I normally run into cyclists who prefer to ride on the pavement, id happily walk towards them as they cycle towards me, forcing them to actually go around me, am i fuck moving out of their way!

I try and have respect, and share the road with cyclists.

But they are not reciprocal

I wish everyone using the roads would just be a little calmer and kinder.
All shit like this does is push us to license plates and insurance for all push-bikes.

How legal are shoes with one foot spike strips extending from either side? Learn 'em up a bit.
