Bloody Cyclists

What is it with cyclists these days? Are they a law unto themselves?


Now before I get on my high horse, I know that this does not apply to ALL cyclists, but YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, if it's you.

Why don't you wear reflective clothing at night or have working lights on your bike? Do you want to get killed? Why don't you STOP at red traffic lights? Again do you want to get killed? Why do you insist on riding your bike on the pavement, you are not a kid, and it is illegal, Do you want to kill somebody else? I know that at some junctions there is indeed a space for Motor bikes and cycles, but do you really have to show off how well you can balance on two wheels without going forwards or falling off, in front of car drivers who are in a hurry to get somewhere? It's not big and it's not clever. Do you want to piss everybody else on the road off? Young adults why do you still ride a BMX bike, standing up, with you arse hanging out of your trousers? With the seat so low that you look like a circus monkey when you sit down, with your knees up around your ears. For Gods sake GROW UP!!

Go and nick someone!
I think you all should follow this link and see what the law says about cyling in the uk. Especially the bits that say what you SHOULD NOT DO!!! And on the subject of the law; Police and community officers, why don't you enforce some of these laws, instead of mincing around the local park with your mates? I mean, how many laws get broken in the park? You could bust someone for walking on the grass or feeding the deer or dropping litter I suppose, not very 'Dirty Harry' is it? Please get out there and reign in some of these maverick cyclists before they get so far up their own arses that they'll need a glass stomach put in so that they can see where they are going. That is what makes me mad. Arrrrgggghhhh!!!!!

Bloody Bus Drivers

I know you saw me running!
What is it with bus drivers these days? Is their job so boring that they have to have a little fun, baiting punters who are running for the bus? I am sure that there are some very nice, warm and compassionate bus drivers out there, who would fall over themselves trying to help members of the public. To those beautiful people I say "May your God bless and keep you". What I'm ranting about are the few who sit at the bus stop, making time because they are running a little early. You know what I mean. You see the bus waiting there; You start running; You think to yourself 'Oh what a nice driver, waiting there for me like that', but as you get about three bus lengths from the door, the bugger starts indicating and pulls out into the traffic. You know that he has seen you running in his wing mirror for Gods sake, they are as big as wardrobe doors, you would have to be blind not to see you running wouldn't you think? Or at least be that visually impaired that you shouldn't be in charge of a bus full of people. The driver knows, that you know, that they have seen you running and that you have seen that little smirk, play across their lips as they pull away and even if they are held up in traffic as you finally catch up, face purple, lungs threatening to burst out of your chest, eyes bulging, veins in your temples distended and throbbing, screaming like a dishevelled lunatic and banging on the door as people pass by and gawp in disbelief. They still won't even look at you or acknowledge that you are there. At least until they drive off, when they just barely glance aside and smirk again. That is what makes me mad. Arrrrgggghhhh!!!!!
