Ok ? I accept it happens then.


I?ve cycled that junction for 15 years and can?t recall it happening as it?s a silly junction to do it on. There is too much going on. To say it happens all the time is an exaggeration.


As for cycling without lights, I?m a motorist too. Cycling without lights is stupidly dangerous. To do that you have to be basically thick. Anyone who does is putting themselves in real danger for no reason. Many people are morons. Some of them are cyclists. The bane of my ride home from the City is boneheaded, drunk pedestrians.

You need to re-title the thread to some derogatory comment about cyclists, I thought looking at the title it may be something of use/interest, rather than a reason for many of you to go on about your prejudices. Good that some have brought in some balance.


PS Shaggy and others, you cannot have a proper conversation if you resort to terms such as thick, morons etc. Although that could apply to some pedestrians of course......

Last night some thick bastard was driving along the road without any lights on and almost caused an accident. I noticed and yelled about the lights, and then I switched on them and everything was fine.


It wasn't on Crystal Palace Rd tho, sorry.

As loads of posts have commented, there's no comparison between the damage of a human in a vehicle and a human on a bicycle or walking. Humans driving vehicles are a huge part of the destruction of the planet

    • People are switching to electric cars irrespective of fuel prices.  100s of millions that could be spent on hospitals and schools for example have been lost due to fuel duty freezes and a supposedly temporary reduction.  Fuel is relatively cheap at the moment.  With a stonking majority when is it time to rightly take on motorists? Farming, I simply referred to Paul Johnson of the IFS who knows more about the economy that you, I and Truss will ever know. Food?  Au contraire.  It's too cheap, too poor quality and our farmers are squeezed by the supermarkets and unnatural desire to keep it cheap.  A lot less takeaways and more home cooking with decent often home produced, food should benefit most in our society. Be honest you do t like Labour. 
    • In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.
    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use. 
    • Hello - if anyone is in need of sofa/rug/carpet cleaning, we have recently had a very good experience with husband and wife team Kate and Vlad. They're a very reasonable cost and the result was great (don't look too closely at the colour of the water that comes out!) Kate's number is 07731 140246
