Moton on a bike

[Molecule Man]

On my way into London this morning, I was carefully filtering past a long queue of traffic on Great Dover Street (I later found out it was due to yet another crash involving a cyclist on London Bridge, hope she's going to be okay). I slowed down as the gap was getting narrower, and then this bloke on a bike behind shouts out 'Move you spineless prick!', then continued to rant on at me until the gap got a bit wider and he pushed past me.

He was tall, with dirty, shoulder-length hair, I think on a fixie, and I think I've seen him before in the same area, shouting in the face of a pedestrian who dared to step out onto a pedestrian crossing when the green man was lit.

I don't suppose he's on this forum (not hipster enough for him), but if he is, then I have this to say to him -
If you're so ****ing hard and were in such a rush, why were you wheelsucking me all the way from the Bricklayer's Arms, because I was going pretty slowly already?
Basically, to quote Bike Snob NYC, you suck at bikes.

GRR! I was in London yesterday (not on the bike). If any cyclist did that to me they would get just as big an earfull back at them... Those people dont just suck at bikes, they suck at life.

Not a moton. A rude cyclist!

 

[Tynan]

the incident on London Bridge this morning was a motorbike hitting a pedestrian, both parties taken away in ambulances, apparently the ped badly hurt

I went through an hour previously so the rude dirty cyclist wasn't me

How do people like him manage to go through life without getting a hammering every day? I don't have a large circle of friends and I know at least 4 people who would have forced him off the bike and given him a Barnsley kiss for his troubles.(Not me I might add, as I am a lover not a fighter)

The pedestrian was in such a state that they where air lifted to hospital. Terribly sad.

 

[Tynan]

well yes but the way people around there waltz out into the road without a care is amazing, especially at the station end, it's like the station is being abandoned they way they come out of there

not that I know what happened at all

funny the helicopter, there's a huge hospital 100 yards away surely?

Depending on the injuries they may take someone to a different hospital if there is a better medical unit suited to treat them.

Argh, is it me or has there been a rise in the amount of really agressive reckless fakenger types recently?

. Those people dont just suck at bikes, they suck at life.

But to his friends he'll be a super cool dude, & will be the centre of tier attention as retells his tale of the ridiculous cyclist who held him & had to be put in his place...
I have encountered his type too often, having a way with words, a polite smile, a knowledge of the highway code & cycling skills, I do so enjoy puting then in their place!

I concur, I blame the weather.

 

[Jezston]

I blame Lucas Brunelle.

.... given him a Barnsley kiss for his troubles...

Is this the same as a Glasgow kiss?

 

[MrHappyCyclist]

Is this the same as a Glasgow kiss?

Or a Wigan kiss?
