Was it wrong of me to tell the RLJ cyclist...

[Wobblers]

That he was a colour blind *******? I thought I was quite restrained: after all, the muppet undertook me at the lights in order to jump them...

As an aside, aren't Glasgow motorists nice? Yes, I have fled to the North to escape the unending winter (irony overload!). I've been amazed: no close passes. No irritable horn totting. But much courteous hanging back, even when it's fine to pass. I'm trying not to get used to it, for it's back to Brum next week. Where, somehow, I don't think that things will be quite as pleasant. Sigh.

 

[jonny jeez]

Yes.

"quite restrained" lol how about very.
Considering the standard way to solve any matter is to stab other other person down in Glasgow.

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Yes
Let the muppet be, it's a free country.
Btw, have you had a close encounter with a Hampden Cab yet?

 

[Bromptonaut]

No. I'm fed up of waiting at one particular set of badly timed lights (Montague St northbound into Russell Square) and having folks squeeze by on my nearside.

Must learn to rest my left foot on the kerb.

Exaggerated! Mostly a Glasgow kiss solves the dispute

Nope. Had a roadie in full kit go through a blatant set of reds on the A6 in Manc this evening. I simply stated a fact ("it's on red pal").

Selfish twunt.

I suppose it's a lot better than me calling that nutter a stupid donkey. He undertook a moving bus and right hooked it, turning across my path.

I haven't had the pleasure of any close encounters with Hampden Cabs for quite some time. Maybe they've improved? (Well, it could happen! )

Naw.

 

[BigonaBianchi]

well as a 'group' we do sound off at bad drivers...and rightly so.....so jumping a red light just gives the rest of us a bad name with the motoring species....so yeah he needed telling...

I keep my trap shut these days, but I did offer four-letter advice as a younger man.

What disturbs me is how I am 'sucked into' competitive RLJ-ing in Central London. Being whipped past on red signals by riders I've just overtaken brings out the teenager in my ancient frame.

I usually resist the urge, but there are times (traffic allowing) when I just go barmy on red lights to 'restore parity to the roads' and teach jumped-uip twiglet-legged drug fiends (probably) that I can still hack it.

It brings great shame on me and my family to make this admission. I bet I'm not the only one.

Me too BB. I may be 53 but I retain the wiry frame of my youth. Prefer to let the lights change then sail past the jumped up oik but if all's clear........

I don't say a thing, life is like a chess game.....your move and mistake if its wronge. I look after myself, there is no shortage of clowns on this planet........

disgraceful that you are using visual impairment in a derogatory fashion
