Numpty cyclist

[magnatom]

From hence forth, I decree that the term Person on a Bike, should be banished. It's a little elitist. This cyclist inspired me.

So I further decree that from this moment onwards the term 'Numpty Cyclist' should be used. I challenge anyone to come up with a better description!

(Anyone who knows Anniesland Cross, knows that it isn't a junction to be messed with!)

I love accent

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Pedalestrian. That's what I call them.

 

[magnatom]

oh, aye, I forgot to say..

From hence forth, all comments made to other cyclists during commuting have to be in a sexy, mild, Glaswegian accent.

 

[magnatom]

What did you call him? (I have no speakers on my comp)

There is a clue in the title... and yet you can see black ice...

 

[magnatom]

So you called him a numpty then?

Yes, because he was obviously heading for an area of black ice...

 

[spandex]

 

[magnatom]

Wasn't he jumping a red light though?

Yes, but he was probably doing it for his own safety...

I can almost sense the eruption of rage welling up inside magna as the camera begins to shake from side to side..

Love the brazen verbal attack and his dumbfounded look (although didn't love the undertake..!)

One of several incidents at that jct eh. I feel I know your cycling route now.

That poor bloke looked a bit downtrodden.

Better than being run over, me thinks. :?:

Wasn't an undertake as such, I was moving into the lane on the left! (i.e. like an exit lane on the motorway):?:

Aye, it's a crazy junction, according to wikimapia (and it is never wrong!) it is the second busiest interchange in Europe. So I suppose it's not surprising that it has it's fair share of problems.

Just out of interest why wasn't you at the front of the traffic at the red light?

Because I filtered down through heavy traffic, and as I have said before, you are safer (and less likely to receive agro) filtering to a gap one or two cars back (just to the front right hand side of the car is a good place as they have clear visibility of you there), instead of all the way to the front.

No need to go to the front, especially when if you are going to trundle along like the cyclist in this clip.
