I posted this on MCN's FB page after my ride in this morning. Some riders need to have accidents. Bad ones.
So you, Fazer on the A3 into London this morning: go to your local police station and hand your license in. You rode along the cycle path marked up ON THE PAVEMENT on the three lane approach to West Hill; you then rode in the cycle lane down West Hill; I did neither but was still alongside you at both the sets of lights at the bottom of the hill and into the one way section round Armoury Way, where incidentally I left you for dust because you can’t actually turn a bike by leaning into a bend. You further proved your inability to ride or filter and your own fear on the road at the lights at the junction with the A217 because you didn’t filter those gaps (it’s a bit harder when you can’t ride in the cycle lane because there isn’t one, isn’t it?).
I’ve been commuting to Westminster since October 1988 and your riding is giving me and my ilk a bad name. The fact that bus on West Hill pulling into the stop could’ve taken you out of the cycle lane would have taught you a much needed lesson, but I’m glad it didn’t because I’d have had to tell the attending police officer what I had seen you doing and given the bus driver a clean bill of health and that would have made me late into the gym.
So learn how to ride; stay out of the bit of road that clearly isn’t yours; stay off the pavement or just give up.
Cunt!

Most of the bikers I come across are courteous and ride well within the conditions/road. I keep as good a look out for bikers and when they are behind, keep well to the left so they can overtake in the same lane. Most will then will give a wave when they are past. Only occasionally seen idiots on bikes and they are usually on overloaded 125's or scooters trying to accelerate away in too high a gear and gerring themselves INTO trouble. Like with cars it is a case of being alert and aware of what MIGHT happen around you. I have several times thought of returning to a bike after my knee is fixed but not sure I would be quick enough mentally. A pipe dream but a good one.

What an utter prick. His collision is coming. Probably won't be long.

So how do you turn a bike if not for leaning?
Respect to you BB, you must read the roads bloody well. Having commuted into London by car for a few years myself I know how bad some motorcyclists are with a total lack of patience and its those guys that get squashed. Unfortunately its not always their fault but drivers don't expect a bike to come flashing past or filtering at 50mph as they're doing 10 Mph down the Kings road.
Just don't get me started on black cabs and pushbikes

So how do you turn a bike if not for leaning? ...... Just don't get me started on black cabs and pushbikes I meant he couldn't lean very well, so his corner speed suffered. Probably shit prose on my part through being in a bad mood. Black cabs: just because you know your way around a bit doesn't mean you can drive. Given up with pushbike anger: not worth it as there are so many that are responsible who should be shouting down the morons. Thanks for the compliment, by the way. I've had a couple of minor incidents but that's par for the course. I should add I am probably in the top 10% of arrogant twats when I'm on a bike in town so now I've said that I'll take care for a few days thinking about it. Every day riding in is a learning experience.
