On the way to work, i need to cross the road, so i use the zebra crossing, traffic slows down, i begin to cross, but a cyclist decides he’s overtaking the traffic which has now stopped, missing me by about a foot, im actually a bit dumbfounded, obviously i called him a cockwomble, and some other choice words, but seriously, some people infuriate me beyond belief!!
This happens daily where I live. The cyclists even have the gaul to scream at me for crossing the road where they’re cycling.
Some people are just cunts.
Busses: bloody cyclists!
Cars: bloody cyclists!
Lorries: bloody cyclists!
Motorbikes: bloody cyclists!
Pedestrians: bloody cyclists!
Cyclists: I’m doing good for the environment! Everyone else can fuck off!
😂
True but as a mainly pedestrian why does that give cyclists the right to run me over and not take my safety into account? Am I not doing good for the environment too?
We should give everyone respect that shares the road and crossings and pavements. Cyclists seem to be cohort that gives the least amount of respect to everyone. Egalitarian really when you think about it. 😉
Your breathing produces co2 (cyclists don’t breathe)
They are machines. One with the bike they sit upon.
I normally run into cyclists who prefer to ride on the pavement, id happily walk towards them as they cycle towards me, forcing them to actually go around me, am i fuck moving out of their way!
Good idea, thank you!
What you failed to notice - and it’s okay as it’s subtle - is that the cyclist transformed from car-mode to pedestrian-mode to use the zebra crossing and thus you needed to share to (not ‘with’) him while he was needing your space. Then, of course, he was back to car-mode after leaving the zebra, and saving the environment (so brave!) once again.
It’s easy to make that mistake. It’s obvious you do owe the cockwomble an apology, though, for taking his space when he was a pedestrian saving the environment and thus better than you.
I try and have respect, and share the road with cyclists.
But they are not reciprocal
