1/ A red light at a pelican crossing means STOP!!!! :evil:
2/ A red light at a traffic junction means STOP!!! :evil:
3/ When a pedestrian is established on a zebra crossing you are meant to STOP!!! :evil:
4/ When the signal controlling your designated cycle lanes is on red you STOP!!! :evil:

Finally, those big metal things with engines are called cars, and if you disobey points 1 & 4, and you hit one it will fooking hurt!!! ;)

kind of, cyclists near home don't bother me, it's in central London where they assume an air of invincibility, luckily i dont drive in central london, but I have in recent weeks had numerous close calls on Pelican/Zebra crossings with these "silent assasins". And only this morning I saw a girl come flying out of a side street straight into an oncoming car 8O

yeah, but it still doesnt stop em :evil:
 
I cycle in to work every day in Central London and generally Im a good boy as someone in my office got killed a few years ago on a bicylce.
Yes, I do go through some red lights but only on really quiet junctions and wait for the green man (pedestrian light) to come before moving.

I do think though that all road users are as guilty as others for causing various problems. The amount of times I have hit people because they dont look before running out to cross the road, or had near misses with cars because they dont signal they are turning left off a road or roundabout. Were all as much to blame as each other.

I do see lots of cyclists really taking their life in their hands though by doing things that jj mentioned above. They do seem to think they are invincible.

that's incredible. everything is exactly the opposite to here!
 
very true, had unpleasant experience a couple of months back seeing someone get killed right outside my office after an altercation with the no38 bus. This mornings incident was "less serious" as the girl was conscious and could move...a bit, but it was still scarey. I dont help I suppose as i often have my walkman on, so dont hear any cyclists coming :lol:
 
Oh purrleees :roll:
I hate it when car drivers complain about cyclists. Come on, at least we cannot kill anyone on the bikes, like you can with your smelly, polluting, all-destroying "kings" of the road :evil:

It really cannot be that much of an effort to step on the brake or turn the steering wheel a little bit extra, is it :?:

I beg to differ :?

Anyway, If you read the post properly you will see that I am in fact a pedestrian moaning about cyclists, not a car driver ;)

Cycle paths.....and Psycho....paths.....

I've been hit twice while crossing (on a zebra crossing) :cry:

First time I was hit, was quite funny.... I was crossing the road carrying 3 Pizza's.... I was hit by this (blind) cyclist and knocked flying.... The contents of the pizza's covered me.... I only had bruised ribs and a small cut, but the sauce from the pizza made me look like I'd been shot with a bazooka..... Cyclist went into shock, thinking he'd killed me.... :lol:

(I laff every time I see that seat belt advert - If you know which one I mean....)
 
If I was Mayor-ess of London I'd close all the roads, get rid of all the cars and get everyone on their bikes and walking :D :lol:

Same here

I drive everyday a mopped, an average of 700 km/month but the most dangerous moment of my journey is when I park my moped near the office and I have to cross the cycle paths 8O
If you ever read in the newspaper "Cyclist obliged to eat a shinny helmet" then it's me 8O :lol:
 
a cyclist really fooked me off once, I was parked in a parking space on the high road, I was just getting back into my car I saw the cyclist coming so I just pulled the handle and would wait for him to go past, only as I pulled the handle he started shouting at me "thats it, open your fu cking door why don't ya" I was a huge comedown, and ended up shouting back (and embarressing myself) "fu ck off you fu cking p rick arse" he was lucky I was late for work cos I would have followed him, and just 'burned him up' a little bit :twisted:

Although I do understand all points being made here :D
