What surprises me is that there aren’t more cyclists killed on the road of London because too many of them haven’t got a clue. They are mostly dumb and arrogant which isn’t a good combination!

Absolutely right. Some are fine, but most cyclists in London are complete wankers. They need to be licenced, taxed, insured and trained, just like car-drivers.

They complain about cars, but the truth is that if car drivers drove the way most cyclists ride there would be hundreds of people killed every day in London.

I just got mowed down by a cyclist while crossing at a zebra crossing in London last week. I suffered injuries to my head and ribs. I was amazed that the police never came and that the ambulance that took me to the emergency room just gave the cyclist some first aid and let him go. Nobody seemed to care. I am not from England, so I don’t know how the system works – in my country the cyclist would be taken before a court because hitting pedestrians – unless it was unavoidable – is a crime.

I don’t want to see any cyclists killed or injured and I realise in some cases it is 100% the fault of a useless car driver. However there are a lot of cyclists that do not have any road awareness and they have this crazy mentality that they think they are the king of the road.

When I get round to doing my Youtube expose, it will show a lot of cyclists running red lights, and narrowly avoiding pedestrians crossing the road when the green man is flashing, as well as cycling on pavements.

4 of your 5 offences are already against the law and some of them can result in imprisonment if personal injury is caused. The fifth offence may be the most preferable way to let off steam if a two ton vehicle has just come within an inch of ending your life. Perhaps you’d prefer a beating with a U-lock? Cyclists have worked hard to kill a total of 3 pedestrians in the last 40 years here in the UK. Drivers of HGVs have managed to kill that many cyclists in London in as many months (sorry, make that weeks) this year. I think you need to get things into proportion somewhat.
Still waiting for your Youtube expose of lethal cyclists on the streets of London…

Cyclists are pain in the ass and shouldn’t be allowed on the roads, until they learn the rules of the dam road! They need to be more accountalbe for there actions when using the roads, most of them are a danger to themselfs.

Your correct in your assumption that I could quite easily have a rant about pedestrians or for that matter drivers in London. But there just seems to be so many crazy cyclists in this city that it sometimes really annoys me. I’m either trying to avoid getting run over by them on the pavements or when I’m crossing the road at the pedestrian crossing when the green man is showing.

I like the rant! I think there are a lot of cyclists like that in London but it would of course be an over-generalisation to call all of them “crazy”. The vast majority that you do not notice are simply getting from A to B like everyone else is. It is just as easy to have a rant about pedestrians that don’t look when they cross the road or buses that don’t check for cyclists.
