I would have said "oh bugger off you old fart".:whistle:

Me too.

I (and several school mates) were threatened with being arrested on the famous one in Abbey Road. All we were doing was taking photos of ourselves on it in groups of 4 ..... That was in 1970, and loads of people were queuing up to do the same thing and causing traffic chaos.

Yes he’s wrong to loiter and lecture you, BUT, he probably thought you were one of the thousands of inconsiderate, selfish, and shite cyclists out there who do zoom and weave across zebra crossings every day. He’s probably one of the growing number of peds who has little patience for a group that includes idiots who piss him off.


Similarly, most of the grief I get as a cyclist is because of the piss poor manners of many of our fellow cyclists – I don’t like it, I'm not saying that’s right, but what do you expect? We all get tarred with the same brush...


My thoughts exactly TC. A small percentage of inconsiderate cyclists spoil it for the vast majority.

This, is why I always carry a copy of the highway code, so I can be a smartarse to people that seem to think they know it all

Granted one day I'll probably end up in York District for my efforts, but meh.

I expect when I'm old I will be one of those men......


(Magnatom awaits the inevitable, 'You are already one of those men' comments. Mmm. I wonder who will make that comment first.....)


I'd hate you to sit all day waiting in eager anticipation, so I thought I'd nip in first and point out that you're already one of those men.

:rofl:
