# Does it help that I used to be a cyclist until I got run over by a tank?

# I ride my bike far more often than I drive, as I don't have a car
...which means nothing to these people. As soon as you make the slightest suggestion that they should take some sort of responsibility for hurtling around on an oversized child's toy, they scream bloody murder: "Car drivers are mean! Cabbies are mean! White van drivers try to kill us on a daily basis! Therefore we should have carte blanche to run down pedestrians as we like, because cycling is the greenest form of transport!"

/argument condensed for the sake of clarity

# Indeed. If you can't hack the behaviour of other road users
Don't use it.

# No no no, you just don't understand
Car, van and lorry drivers make the road unsafe for cyclists, that's why they have to jump red lights and make crossings unsafe for pedestrians

It's their god-given right. Because cycling is green.

# While using a pelican crossing on the green man this morning
I still had to dodge some dippy bint who was far too important to stop at a red light

Though of course that would be my fault, for having the temerity to be a pedestrian

# If the weather had been "changeable"
I would have had my trusty long umbrella with me, which is perfect for spokes

Sadly it was nice and sunny today, so I only had a pair of shades :(

# I used to have playing card on the spokes of my bike.
* Brrroooooommmmm....

I also use to lean out of the passenger window of my mates car and give cyclists a dead leg as we drove past...
