Roadie abuse.

[#3965584]

Cycling home last night, me on my Brompton. At a three-way junction. Lights red against me. In front, a roadie on a racing bike properly kitted out all the skintight gear with legs like brick outhouses, crouched and ready to rock.

I cycled past him and, as there was nothing coming in any direction, carried on across the junction.

About 200 yards further on, I saw in my rear-view mirror that the lights had changed and that he was charging up at some speed.

As he drew level (and very close) with me, he shouted "TIT!" at the top of his voice and sped off.

Gosh. I wonder if he's there again this evening...

You're saying you went through a red light and got called a tit for it?
Sounds fair.

Thats one of the main reasons car drivers hate cyclists, you TIT!

BTW anyobe who rides a Brompton is a TIT as well, so he may not be concerned with your lack of respect to the rules of the road.

Doubt this is a troll because would you mention you were riding a Brompton?

I was nearly mown down by a Bromptonite running a red light the other day.

I was overcome with an attack of northern-ness and called him a d!ckhead.

You appear to not have finished your post. Are you saying that you agree or disagree with said roadie?

Whats the relevance that he was

a roadie on a racing bike properly kitted out all the skintight gear with legs like brick outhouses,
???

He was another cyclist who is probably fed up of getting the "all cyclists ride through red lights and on pavements scareing kids" shit.

I saw a roadie jump a red light a couple of nights back.
I gave him a very firm stare.
I bet he's feeling pretty small now, yes siree.

Ah - I think I misunderstood.

I missed the bit about going through the red light and assumed he was commenting on the OPs mode of transport.

Maybe he was alerting you to a girl on the pavement who'd had a wardrobe malfunction?

Good on him, I think its time all cyclists took action against the knobbers in our community who give fuel to the clarksonesque flamers...

In the eyes of the Roadie you have done something wrong and he's had a pop at you.

Is not like you've never done that aye?

They don't call you Mr WoppTIT for nothing you know

Solo - what is your problem? Seriously now. Are you still hurt that I didn't get you involved in a SITS team last year?

"I saw in my rear-view mirror"

Now i saw this but initially just assumed Brombtons come with one... and probably a drinks holder for your weak lemon drink.

I saw this and assumed deliberate trolling.

And also Woppit's need for the masochist satisfying attention-seeking that comes with self-gratifying emotional abuse.

With apologies to woppit for them having the word "priest" oh and "Judas" in the title.

Ignore the people slagging you off Woppit, I think recumbents are dead cool; Bromptons ARE recumbents,right?

Yes it was important for him that he should mention he was on his Brompton, despite the fact that it is completely irrelevant to the story, as it knew it would guarantee a higher level of abuse.

Likewise his reference to his "rear-view" mirror, presumably as opposed to his makeup mirror.

I jump lights when on my Dahon, s'pecially if I'm late for my train home.... Just like all the other 10,000 commuters do heading to that Waterloo on a Friday Eve.
I see now't wrong with it.
I don't jump lights when on my roadie though, don't want to give the wrong impression.
Don't think I've ever seen a red light when on my mtb though.

TiT's are nice things, I'd say that was a compliment.

You should read Woppit's other thread where he explains how he nearly died today jumping a red light. You may reconsider your view
Oh and technically there's a lot wrong with it - it's illegal

Maybe it's worth thinking about how your friends and family will feel standing around at your funeral?
