I'am off to the shed to get my old push bike out.

Now, where's the nearest red light!

-- clarification -- red traffic light.

My best mate just took out a cyclist who ran a red light. The really funny thing? He was on his push bike himself at the time!

She took a tumble into the road, he kept his bike shiny side up. There is some justice in the world.

I "nearly" took one out on friday evening. The lights were green in my favour, he ran the red light (coming from my right) had a walkman on, and was looking at the buildings on the other side of the road (ie away from me),,,, so I pulled out rught up to him,,,,,,,, HIT THE HORN AND SCREAMED as htough I hadnt seen him.,... guy nearly shat himself,,,,,,, as I rode of laughing to myself I could see him wobbling down the road............ naughty, but the **** shouldnt be allowed to ride a pushbike on the orad if he isnt going to concentrate !!!

Never ride my push bike on the orad, sounds far too dangerous a place with Ceri JC about

Almost hit a dumb pedestrian in my village last night whilst on the push bike as he stepped out into the road, luckily there was no oncoming traffic so I could swerve round him but gave him a good shouting at.

Chuckle, see that's the problem with push bikes, no loud pipes May I suggest for your next upgrade, forget the Shimano gubbins, get some spoke clackers Failing that, folding the mudguard into the tyre on a Raleigh Grifter actually does make it sound like a proper motorbike! (helps if you're 10)

Anyone who rides in London will at some point, every hour, witness one of these lycra clad jumping a red light!

The most simple and satisfying way to deter them is to run 'em over!

Not very good for your karma though.

If you don't want to run 'em over just accelerate really fast directly at them with a deranged look in you eyes.
It scares the $hit out of them and can become an adictive game!

I ended up being dragged off an idiot cyclist who jumped a red light and then had the cheek to kick my bike 'cos i scared him!
The guy who pulled me off him was another cyclist who then verbally laid into the idiot.
His best line was "It's tw*ts like you who give us cyclists a bad name, you stupid f***ing wa*ker!"

And why do lycra clad idiots think they are going to win against a fully armoured biker in a bit of fisty cuffs?
