But I live here; most of the others are tourists. However London is very bad this year - there are too many cyclists without lights, riding on the pavements, and jumping the red lights. I used to be a keen cyclist having been brought up with National Cycling Proficiency at school, and at least reading the Highway Code. I WAS a keen cyclist - but now no more. And now-a-days I am gob-smacked at the selfishness of modern cyclists. This afternoon alone I have nearly been knocked over 5 times by cyclists without lights jumping the red traffic lights - when they have been green for me as a pedestrian. If I shout out after they just miss knocking me over all I get told is "fcuk off!" Nice, This reduces my sympathy for cyclists to zero. As a responsible cyclist, who stops at traffic lights, carries lights and fluorescent clothing and reflectors and respects other users of the road (and pavements) I share your irritation with the morons who give us all a bad name. May I recommend that you carry a sturdy walking stick when out as a pedestrian. When one of these selfish scum ignores the rules of the road simply insert it between the spokes. It will focus the mind as the cranium makes contact with the road surface. ;-) Its not physically possible for a bicyclist to land on his/her head. The human body is specifically designed to prevent this. And on the ninth day, God said: "Let Adam not be capable of landing on his head when falling, for fear that one of his descendants might do sowhen they have invented the bicycle and tarmac". And lo! It was done. And God saw that it was good. |
