# many cyclists are dicks
but frankly the same applies to pedestrians who see nothing wrong with walking into the road without looking and opening car and taxi doors into them. and don't get me started on white van man, minicabs or taxis.

# haha I recently did
to check that my understanding of lane discipline when approaching a roundabout was correct. It was. It's the other cunts who think I'm cutting them up who are wrong!

# i thought you were joking
but you seem to seriously be suggesting that a driver or cyclist should give way to any pedestrian who chooses to step into the road at any point. That seems a bit bizarre, frankly.

# You seem to be suggesting they have the right to run them over
How odd.

# sorry
that's not what I meant. Many many times, pedestrians have stepped off the curb directly in front of me (less than a metre) while I have been cycling. It's very scary and has resulted in injury to me on several occasions and once almost getting run over by a lorry while attempting to avoid them. I suppose that I struggle a little with the concept that I was in the wrong all those times.

# My reply possibly wasn't 100% serious (comedy website lols)
But, may I suggest riding appropriate to the conditions and application of say, a warning bell? No potential dangers=ride fast, potential dangers (pedestrians around)=slower.

I ride a bike and it's really easy. Never had the sorts of problems you're talking about*.

# FACT!
it's been shown that the closer a cyclist rides to the kerb, the less room cars gives them.

btw, curb = restrain ;)

# Yes, see - as a road user, you're expected to be behave in a manner that enables you to deal with unforeseen situations.
Sorry if that's too much responsibility.

# at a junction or break in the road the pedestrian has right of way
fact
though in practice, there's the thing of being morally right, but mortally wounded

# and many car drivers are dicks too
Some people like the Amsterdam System, where the grumpiest and shoutiest cyclist has the right of way.

except when you're a tourist, in which case you never have the right of way

# on my one visit to Amsterdam (yes for those reasons)
I decided the best way to find my way back to the hotel was to navigate via 'the' canal.
