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!!

I wish everyone using the roads would just be a little calmer and kinder.
All shit like this does is push us to license plates and insurance for all push-bikes.

I wish 'everyone' included the self-important enviro-defenders mowing down pedestrians.

Number plates* or Registration plates* also it's spelled licence.

Okay but I do think we need regs for bikes
