well...I can't say I've not seen similar videos (not with cyclists) and laughed. I could just do it back anyway.

Well I'd have laughed if it was between friends, like in Jackass when they woke each other up. But to a stranger on the street.. why? The guy could have swerved and had an accident that close. Just my opinion obviously.

Nah, it could of been serious, not disagreeing with that.

someone report that to google, that's assault, if that rider had fallen and gone under a car ...

 

[downfader]

Hmm maybe we should flag it as abuse? Bullying?

Can't be worse than some of the driving I see out there though.

Was it an Airzound they blasted?

That's a rarity though isn't it?

I think im more concerned by the mobile phone weilding comedians out there.

nnaah. Doubt it, probably just any old cheap air horn.

This would come in handy in London.

Almost better than walking under someones wheels.i had four dozy peds at Whitechapel this morning,so nothing else mattered to them when they saw a bus and dashed from the other side of the road to catch it.Making me swear as they ran in front of me.

Had an interesting encounter with a ped on the way home tonite. You may appreciate this:

He walks out in front of me, so I skid to a halt. He stops but apologises, so I have to get started again (on an uphill incline ). I couldnt help but point to the adjacent A-Road and ask "Would you cross that road without looking!?" He replies "Er, probably. Yeah". The best I could come back with was. "Have a nice life, while it lasts" But I dont know if he caught the last bit.

Suffice to say. Dont worry. These peds wont last long if they carry on like that.

[soapbox]Well I don't particulary hate peds but I do hope they learn by our "encounters".

Seems like im trying to teach three quarters of London.

Most of the time they are ok but sometimes just sometimes they will want to risk their lives to save a few seconds.Now where have I heard that before?

Now this is where an airhorn comes in handy.

Because one day they may not walk in front of a poor innocent cyclist but some moton and they won't be so lucky.

I've seen enough peds lying in the road after incidents and it is not a very nice sight.Also I noticed there is an incident sign along my commute with an incident like this (recently) and normally the moton is the innocent one who gets caught up in this.

I truly belive there is lack of education in how to cross the road safely.
Have you ever watched a ped when they cross the road?
They normally check once and that's it.[/soapbox]
