Londoners On Bikes post their fist campaign video
This lot hit the cycle shops of London over the weekend, encouraging people to 'vote with their bikes' in the Mayoral Elections.
Perhaps our favorite candidate Sir Ian Bowler would like to fail to throw his weight behind the campaign, dismissing it as simply a puff of fancy.

People on bikes are, in general, a pain in the fucking tits.
They seem to pay no attention to the world around them. They rarely stop at red lights. They also tend to be highly abusive, especially when something unpleasant has happened that's actually their fault.
Not trolling, I've just seen some serious assholery from cyclists over the past few years. I've got no time for them any more.

I'm a cyclist!
I try to be nice though, I ride on the road, wear the requisite flashing lights, Never jump a red light, signal before turning and all that.
Just trying impotently to to head off the inevitable anti-cyclist shitstorm that always follows this sort of post.
Unless everyone's already bored of the argument. I which case Hooray! I also like both cats and dogs, think Stewart Lee and Tim Minchin are great, and don't particularly hate Micheal Macintyre. I AM A MONSTER.

I used to think Tim Minchin was a talentless prick
Then I saw the musical of Matilda and had to admit it was pretty good.

You should've started this "I'm not trolling but....."
& saved everyone a few seconds wasted reading.

I hgave seen black people being arseholes
that does not mean I judge all Black people by that.
My commute is 26.3 miles, I stop at every red light, I never ride on pavements and I am in the vast majority of cyclists in this adherance to road laws.
Yes you notice the arseholes, but then I notice the arsehole cars, but do not set out as though all cars are arseholes and (and this is important) when a bike cuts you up, he is an arsehole - when a car cuts me up he is a serious threat.

I'm sure you're a perfectly safe cyclist
but there seem to be a disproportionate amount of people who aren't. I'm going to have to disagree with you on your last point, too. Say a cyclist doing 10mph cuts me up at 40mph. In that split second, what do I do with my ton and a half of metal? Veer left, possibly mounting a kerb and hitting pedestrians, veer right into passing or oncoming traffic, or slam on the anchors and pray that I and the traffic behind me stops in time before making Oblivious Wanker Pâté (and/or a 2-6 car pileup)?
I'd call that a serious threat.

so you're irrational hatred...
is bolstered by appealing to self-certified meaningless conjecture? and what the fuck are you doing 40mph on any road a cyclist is allowed on in the first place?
i'd call you someone who should perhaps take a fucking bus more often, you sure as shit shouldn't be behind a wheel.
/edit you're = your. cox.

An urban dual-carriageway? A non-urban single carriageway?
Meaningless conjecture, eh? Tell that to the old boy I watched get mown down by a cyclist as he jumped the lights at a pedestrian crossing last year. The cyclist who ranted at the collapsed old guy then tried to ride away (until myself and others physically prevented him).
Poor old sod ended up with a broken pelvis.
Now go away, you bile-filled little troll.

Cunts.
There are some absolute cuntish cyclists out there and I think their actions tar the rest of them. I (motor)bike into London every day and see some proper cunts running red lights, getting precious and generaly acting like wankers. To put one argument in their corner though, they (like us proper bikers) get one chance only when it comes to traffic collisions. Car drivers have a nice protective shell at least. I think that this is why cyclists and bikers are generally a bit more stressy than the rest of the road users.

proper bikers?
good for you!
now if only the rest of you 'proper bikers' would get the fuck out of the ASL, you know, bit at the front of the traffic lights with a picture of a not-so proper bike on it, we can all get where we're going a lot safer like.

Thought that might get a response ;-)
Haha, sorry. Yeah, I'm a cunt for doing that. But why are they there? I don't understand the point of them. Just stay in the cycle lane next to the kerb, surely? I'm be honest here. I really don't see the point in them. Don't be angry.

Like a lot of car drivers then
