Re: Pedal bikes on the road
I'm still fairly new to this commuting into London lark, and I still maintain that 99% of cyclists are ok.
So the other day I encountered "dopey death-wish cyclist" - posted earlier in this thread about that. There's a fair few about.
Today I came across "mouthy self-righteous cyclist". I'd filtered at some red lights to the front of the queue, and I noticed several cyclists stuck behind me, so I eased forward into the cyclist zone to let them through. Whilst waiting for the lights to change, another cyclist filters through from another gap on the left and pulls his bike across the front of mine, like almost a T shape. Ok fine, but he dawdles when the lights change. So when my engine revs start to rise, he shouts at me, lip-read as something about keeping out of cyclist areas - couldn't quite make it out as my clutch control isn't very good when avoiding mouthy cyclists and my engine might have been bouncing off the rev limiter.
Does anyone else find their clutch control affected in this way?
Any more comedy cyclist categories to add? There must be hundreds.
