    I just wish the Police would impound cycles out and about at night without lights.

      They can't see them.

      Anyway in certain parts of London they do as the "cyclists" are drug dealers.

        They should all buy cars and stop being such a pain in the arse on the road.

          The only cyclists that annoy me are the MAMILs from the cycling clubs ******* annoy me.

            They should enforce no-cycling on the pavement. An old lady near me was killed recently after being hit by one.

              WTF? In LOndon if I cycled in the middle of the lane I would last about 15 seconds before being run over. And quite rightly too.
              How often does the traffic flow in London exceed 20mph?

              If you can't get to that speed (usually less) in city traffic on a bike then you are right. Stay pedestrian!

                At night or on a Sunday.

                Sunday's are especially good as then you get to see MAMILs doing silly things like getting in front of the lights so they can't see them changing colour so you zoom pass them, or kerb hugging and falling over into railings.

                  Very much agree with this. Well - cycling at any speed anywhere near a pedestrian.

                  Baby bp was once nearly run over by such a cyclist. Mrs BP shouted "doesn't your mother let you ride on the road".

                    Only 1 traffic law broken today. Waiting at Lee High Road junction. Lorry had pulled up beside me. I wanted to make surwe I was seen and pulled in front of white line after contra set had gone red.

                    Does breaking by-laws count?

                    I won't be breaking any more traffic laws today. But then I won't be cycling again today....
