Well done you - you spotted a cyclist doing something stupid (and it is stupid to ride at night without lights)


The other day, I spotted a man in a van doing something stupid. He was driving his van, on his phone and nealry knocked me off my bike. Lets start a thread now "ban van drivers from the road"


In fact, we can start campaigns for both of these things. I love blaming the worlds woes on specific minority groups - its great

"dismissing someone's point because of bad spelling or grammar is poor."


I'd generally go along with that. On the other hand....


"All cyclist belong under a bus and they should all be mad to wear hi- vis targets on there back and a scoring system put in place and I can see the gramma nazi are out in force good times"


..there does appear to be some correlation between using no punctuation at all and being a complete tw%t.

Now we are onto the highest level of taking a 'rise'. This is when the game usually gets pretty polarised and nasty, however, on this occasion, I think a whole host of rather poor attempts have become so desperately predictable that we can see through them. Ah well guys, better luck next time.

Unless I'm badly mistaken dulwichbeekeeper is not being serious.

    • What a passionate thread this is. I have worked in cycling for years, am a cyclist, a driver, use public transport etc. Driving last night with my two young kids, who also cycle, we made the same observations. It was the kids who first asked me why are most cyclists wearing full black and no lights. We then played a game who can spot all the cyclists, and count those with lights and those without. This teaches them to look out for them but also not to put themselves in a position where we have to strain to find them. 
    • On the plus side showers are warm down - for now 😆
    • I don’t know it. Cyclists who chose not to follow advice? Does that extend to pedestrians who fail to follow advice too? Do you “Wear or carry something light-coloured, bright or fluorescent in poor daylight conditions” when walking? As advised by the Highway Code? It’s quite grey out today. If not, and you get hit by a car, should there be no reason for sympathy?
