They still display the same pattern of behaviour, failing to stop their bicycles at pedestrian crossings (of any sort) and often screaming obscenities at pedestrians with the temerity to try to cross when and where they have priority. But thanks for admitting it. What a sad response. The terrible behaviour of typical cyclists in the UK is indeed a very sad state of affairs. Thanks for agreeing it. |

You should see them in Albania - stolen Mercs vs peds on crossings. |

I have seen the occasional cyclist use common sense and go through a light controlled pedestrian crossing when there no pedestrians to be seen. I guess the pedestrians had decided to cross before they died from old age. But thanks for admitting it. |

Needless to say, he has declined. |
