I used to live in East London
and walk into work in Central London. My hierarchy of aggressive road users (ranked by number of occasions when they nearly ran me over):
- Cyclists
- Minicab drivers
- Lorry drivers
- Black cab drivers

oooh thats a good one:
for me its:
Cyclists: mainly on pavements
bus drivers: but i do walk close to the edge of the pavement and have been clipped round the ear once or twice...
and then lastly people on fucking phones: LOOK WHERE YOU ARE GOING WE LIVE IN A CROWDED CITY

The ending made me vom
I am a cyclist, and I think most cyclists are cunts. I also think they wa drivers treat cyclist is extremely cunty. I AM THE ONLY NICE CYCLIST IN THE UK.
I stop at lights, I illuminate my bike when its dark and if I am hyper prepared, I wear a high-vis, I try and leave room for cars to pass whenever possible and I use cycle-paths even if they are twice as long a route.
I have still had taxis extend their steps at lights as I am going past to try and trip me up, and people attempting to injure me for no reason other than they are utter cunts. Presumably they would do the same if they were walking and happened to be carrying an offensive weapon that could easily kill or maim.
I pay my road tax, and I happen to be aware that the money raised by that has no correlation to the upkeep of the roads. I happen to believe that a bicycle will make nearly fuck all difference to the condition of the roads.
I don't wear lycra unless I am doing at least 80 miles, and even then I only wear it so I don't get scabs and mad rashes for the rest of the month. I certainly don't wear it to upset white van drivers.

i live in North London and its the same...
its not the cyclists taking short cuts, etc that annoys me it just when people are rude and don't think... so that could be applied to anybody and any form of transport..
a prime example of a dick.... www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/jul/09/ukcrime

I commute to work by bike
And every day, I get cut up by a mum driving her kids to school or a white van pulls out in front of me from a side road or a BMW driver speeds past then cuts in front of more someone walking across the road on their phone. The common factor is people. People are cunts.

I vote for a biological weapon. Let's just get the human race over with.
Honestly, no-one will miss us.
