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!!

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. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Your breathing produces co2 (cyclists don't breathe)

They are machines. One with the bike they sit upon.
