You amble up to the pedestrian crossing and I stop, because i'm preempting your move, even though you're not paying attention. And then you amble slowly-slowly without looking, whilst poking your phone screen, taking your time, you looking up and then carrying on, all slowly-slowly


Oh yeah, just so you know, i've mentally dumped the clutch and poked the throttle to run you over


Same goes for you riding wrong way up the one way street, your brake free bike with the cut-down handlebars


And you 'militant pedestrian' stepping off the kerb way before the zebra crossing, with that defiant "run me over on a crossing would you look"

Yep, you're over the bonnet too

Are you referring to your buggy (the type that occassionally transports young children or even shopping, sometimes the odd pair of shoes) driving skills/mentality?

In that instance Al, they'll just get a light sideswiping, to liven them up and knock the silly grin off their faces

Wow, disturbing - Are there any particular roads where you are planning your reign of terror? Just so I know to avoid them on my fixed gear bike with the shortened handlebars... and my silly grin because I was daft enough to choose an enjoyable mode of transport...

    • Just go to the park like everyone else who didn’t buy a ticket. 
    • I was lucky enough to go to Japan earlier in the year and late one night ended up having to drunkenly navigate my way back to the hotel using my phone. I was briefly nervous, then realised I was in Japan and they don't really do street crime/phone snatching and all was fine. My point being, I don't spend a lot of time worrying about safety in London, but I wonder if I/we have got so used to being on edge (holding bags/phones close) we don't give it much conscious thought. And yes, as mostly a pedestrian if there was less traffic crime my life would be a lot calmer!
    • There’s an interesting discussion to be had on the need for infrastructure generally and on bottlenecks in specific areas, as noted above. However on new houses specifically, I’ve never understood the infrastructure argument. The people to go in the new houses already exist and are already using infrastructure. Thanks to twenty years of under-building we’ve got millions of adults stuck living with parents, living in house shares, paying a fortune to rent cramped flats etc - that’s what a housing crisis is. They’re presumably all using road/trains, showering and weeing whilst doing so. Building them houses doesn’t necessarily increase the need for infrastructure much, if at all. The Abundance Agenda podcast is a great listen if you’re interested in this stuff.
    • Maurice Hinds did a great job fixing my leaking central heating, rebalancing my radiators, and getting my boiler going. Very nice man, highly recommended. Maurice - +44 7720 648273
