Woman driver nearly knocked me off my bike this morning

on a roundabout.

There's always a big queue to turn right, so some people go up the left and try and undertake everyone.

It's pretty dangerous.

Anyway she nearly hit me doing this as she was focusing on getting round quickly rather than watching out for me.

what's her gender got to do with it?

or her mode of transport?
or the location?
how do you know her motives?

you sicken me.

I'm a bit worried

because in the heat of the moment some of the curses I screamed at her were arguably a bit sexist.

:(

  - I know
    
    I'm so ashamed.
    
    Thing is she won't have heard any of it because she was revving her little heart out trying to get round this roundabout.
    
    I think there were some pre-school children who may have heard the outburst. (`what's a stupid fucking bitch-whore mummy?`).

A woman smashed her buggy into me on Saturday when I was standing at the lights

Made my ankle quite sore because of the cold. Dropkicked her and lobbed her baby into a bin

so many people get knocked off their bikes.

why? like, are drivers that bad? i'm paranoid as shit about hitting a cyclist. yesterday me and gf met a mate of ours for lunch and i had to sit and listen to them both share tales of being knocked off their bikes. i'd probably cycle if i didn't hear this all the time

cat_race | 3 Dec '12, 12:39 | X | ^ This | Reply
- because there are bad cyclists and bad drivers.

- Don't have a problem with woman drivers
  
  but women shouldn't be allowed to use umbrellas without a license - mostly they're all too short.

  - FINALLY.
    
    Umbrellas and women together are the absolute worst.

a guy hit me in the face with his basket in Sainsbury's on friday night

i did nothing and he apologised. nothing sexist (or sexy) happened. but next time i won't be so civilised.

- watch out for women drivers
  
  they go extra fast around 6pm because they need to rush back to get the dinner on

  - Surly looking kid wearing headphones wouldn't shift out of the way in the shops on Saturday
    
    I widened my stance on the way by him and ''accidentally'' caught him on the ear with my elbow. Life lesson delivered - I see it as a service.

I was clipped by a skip truck last Thursday, after he cut into the cycle lane I using riding in. Cunt.

Managed to keep upright. Chased him down, gave him some verbal. End of.

I nearly had some moron off his bike the other day

When he cycled straight out and into the middle of a roundabout on me. It must take some bravery to do such a stupid thing when presumably he knew that he wouldn't stand a chance against all the grown ups in their cars. Wouldn't have been as bad if he was turning left, but the fact he went straight to the centre of the island to turn right

AND THESE PEOPLE WONDER WHY THEY GET CRUSHED...
