Well done for being on the ball enough to save both of you from a bruise or two. But what were you expecting, a blowjob?

...pedestrians seem oblivious to approaching cyclists too and will regularly be surprised to be shouted at when they blindly step out into the road.
Point 66: Not ride more than two abreast, or single file on narrow or busy roads, or round bends. Every Sunday morning, driving to work, I encounter at least 3 groups of cyclists ignoring this rule. I very nearly kill at least two of them.
And not really one of the points, but if there's a cycle lane, and it's away from the road, why would you bother staying on the road, you fucking retarded mentalist!
so why don't they take all the precautions they can?

I think they are supposed to look before they step off the pavement though.

There could be anything just round the corner so travel at an appropriate speed.

a bit tedious and UKC.
I do see your point John but, as a motorist who always looks out for cyclists, always gives them a wide berth, will happily trundle along behind them at a few miles an hour until it is safe to pass them, etc etc etc it is VERY annoying (and deeply inconsiderate) when a pair of cyclists decide to trundle along barely pedaling down a narrow road side by side chatting away whilst a queue forms behind them.Someone once gave me poor service in a restaurant so now, regardless of the service I receive, I never tip on principle. That'll teach 'em...
ditto that bad cyclist rant. and cyclists who ride on the pavement. especially when there's a cycle lane there but they can't be arsed to cross the road to use it. there seems to be this thinking that cos a bike is light, doesn't have an engine, and doesn't pay road tax that somehow means the rules of the road don't apply.

There is a cycle lane but it runs through a bad junction where I'd have to turn against the traffic. After nearly being cleared up by cars twice I decided the wide pavement would be safer and not really endanger pedestrians.Its just common sense really, I dare say there are a higher percentage of bad drivers than bad cyclists. Last week some c*$t almost knocked me off near eccy road spar when diving into the bus lane to save 20 seconds. He refused to apologise, then for a laugh swerved towards me when the other side of the roundabout. I caught up with him, but all I could offer was some choice words.If you ever feel like I'm endangering you, I suggest you do the same. Until then, see you on the pavement.
new entry - TV adverts for universities. Particularly the one for liverpool hope that i've just witnessed. At first i actually thought it was a spoof, or an ad for scientology or some bullshit. It has to be seen to be disbelieved.
Yep, that doesn't look good ever, let alone this year. Where do you work tomtom?
Fucking people playing music at the crag on their mobile fucking phones.
