So what are you saying? Never put a foot on the crossing to let them know you want to cross because its too dangerous?

 

[purplepolly]

No, just that "I see cars swerving to hit pedestrians who have put one foot on the crossing all the time " isn't too far from reality

I suppose if you are unlucky, then yes

It seems that Col is an assertive pedestrian, but not an assertive cyclist.

• What happened to not wanting to unduly delay motorists?
• What happened to keeping yourself safe?
• What happened to not wanting to annoy drivers?

It appears that you and Magnatom have things in common after all...!

Your not rolling here are you Origamist?....

Far too much objectivity for proper 'rolling.

Nothing has happened

Why do you think I have this idea? Perhaps it because you have argued the case for exercising your right to cross the road when vehicles approach zebra crossings (which can delay/annoy drivers and be a bit risky), but you criticise cyclists who are similarly assertive, accusing them of annoying/delaying motorists etc.

Does this make it clear - I am accusing you of hypocrisy!

I fear you won't get a straight answer here!

I wonder if col would ever use a Pelican Crossing. I know that cars drivers often feel they get delayed by such unecessary road furniture...

Another haiku....

Col, timid on bike,
Boldly claims his right to walk,
On black and white paint.

Mag, you are to blame for some of this but most of the blame is with your mother for birthing you in the first place, what was she thinking?

In magnatom's case, it probably wasn't England.

Oh i see. Because I would put a foot on a crossing to show my intentions, you say im being a hypocrit.
The point is they expect and understand when you cross a zebra crossing, they dont expect or understand ignorant and unnecessary choreography of a cyclist in the middle of a road, but then i didnt expect anything else from you and your club

Incredible

Fear no more my menace of the roads
Only you could come out with rubbish like this, so much for your safety campaign eh, i wonder what your real reasons are for pretending to be concerned for our safety when you think using a crossing properly is being hypocritical

Is that straight enough for you
