Am I a bad man?

[Racing roadkill]

I'm on a jolly to Bournemouth today. As I was riding through Boscombe, a guy on a fixie, went straight past me at a red light, then hit the curb, then span across the road on his arse. I didn't stop to help, does that make me a bad man? If it helps, I did offer assistance to a chap with a puncture, earlier on.

Nope RLJs deserve everything that happens to them

Only if you cycled passed him pissing yourself laughing would you have been bad.

You didn't, did you?

Yes, you should have stopped, berate him for beating the lights, for giving us all a bad name etc and then ride on.

You are a bad man!! You should have called him a "twat" or something more offensive for breaking the red light.

 

[buggi]

Maybe he couldn't stop cos he's not used to fixies, so hit the curb in a vain attempt to stop. Yes you are bad.

 

[clid61]

Nope his destiny

 

[Dayvo]

should have stop, common human decency, ....

Doesn't that apply to cyclists at red traffic lights, too?

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Yes, a very naughty boy. Now write this 100 times:

I must remember how to spell ''kerb''.

I am not a good man! And I'm not a bad man. I am not a hero. I'm definitely not a president. And no, I'm not an officer. You know what I am? I... am... an idiot. With a box and a screwdriver, passing through, helping out, learning. I don't need an army, I never have. Because I've got them. Always them. Because love, it's not an emotion. Love is a promise.

I used a kerb to curb my speed once - it was not a pretty site so I fitted some breaks.

 

[raleighnut]

I'd have laughed and, provided he was in no imminent danger of being run over by a truck, called him a tosser.

Walking home from my local shops,i went to the crossing to cross the road.As i waited for the lights to change a large lorry a slowed and stopped in the middle lane,the green man came on and i crossed.Ijust passed the front of the lorry when i was hit by an idiot on a bike.He swerved to his left and hit the metal railings and fell off I called him a xxxx and a xxxx then the nice guy in me asked him if he was ok.He said he was but his front wheel was wrecked. to cut a long story short i loaned him a front wheel to get him home.He did'nt have a phone and could not remember any numbers.He promised to bring my wheel back in a few days,that was the last time i saw him or my wheel and that was 2 years ago

No not at all.
You'd done your random act of kindness for the day and RLJers derserve everything they get. Especially as they give the rest of us a bad name
