Cyclist should be dismounted to cross......however real life

I always watch where the car driver is looking, especially at a junction. That's why pedestrian crossings like this have the potential to be dangerous. When you're crossing in front of someone you need to make eye contact to know that they've seen you. If you see a stopped vehicle and then just cross you're asking for trouble, especially if you're crossing below the windscreen line of a large vehicle.

We haven't seen any of "You aaaaahss-hole" Swindon man for a while.

I thought of him today as I drove through Swindon, right through the middle of it including residential, commercial and industrial areas. I negotiated 10s of roundabouts, and at no point did I involuntarily accelerate towards any other road users screaming bloody murder. Also I found that, on the whole, Swindonians were no different to other drivers in the UK (excluding West Yorkshire). Possibly above average from my own experience.

Not all pedestrian crossings: cyclists can ride over toucan crossings. Yes, I know the one in the video was a zebra crossing.

You're doing it all wrong then! You'll never get a vid on here unless you accelerate and shout YOU DIDN'T YOU SEE MY CAR!!!

Easy when you know how!

You'll probably be seeing yourself in one of his videos soon.

Imagine there's people that have to live and work with that man. It's a punishment I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Throwing this one up for discussion.

However, all I can say is... Thank fk I glanced left.

I was surprised you did not stop on the while line for the island entrance.

Crap layout as you rear may have been overhanging the crossing slightly, but at least you would not have been having to look at two 'traffic' flows at once before you pulled out.

They have cycle zebras now. There is one in Cambridge and another in London I believe, but expect to see a lot more of them.

Sorry we'll try to make up for it, and yes we have lots of roundabouts.

Good job you spotted him, but a cyclist has no place on a pedestrian crossing unless on foot himself.

Agree.

Well done OP for seeing him and stopping in time.

Dumb infrastructure again though. Shared use path, but you have to get off your bike and push it across?! fk that, I'd take the road instead.

Typical beard-having fixie-riding hoodie-wearing prick.

I know I match 2 of those 3 (I have a beard and wear hoodies) but you know...

So you're saying you don't have a prick?

[xjay1337]

Haha!

I don't have a fixie :P
Which uhhh could be taken 2 different ways for sure.

Lets not forget:

- No road tax
- No Helmet
- Where is the cyclists camera footage of 399 different angles????

And lots of cars have no road tax, a non starter, helmet is not a legal requirement.

But he still shouldn't ride over the crossing.

Had a situation earlier where I pulled out on some guy, ended up having an argument with him.
At a roundabout, old guy in a Subaru is coming from my right with his left hand indicator on, going to exit at the junction I am pulling out from.
So I pull out, quick glance he hasn't taken exit so I boot it to avoid situation, next roundabout 50 yards he is out the window yelling at me
"you stupid why did you pull out on me?"
"Because you indicated left, your indicator told me you were going left."
"No it wasn't I haven't indicated at all you wker"
"Oh, so why is your indicator still fking on then? If you weren't indicating then your indicator wouldn't be on?"

To which he then grumbled something, booted it off in the wrong lane, cut someone up and still left his indicator on, then stopped at same shop I was going to, I may have pointed out to him he left his left hand park lights, and that they would only come on if he left his indicator on, to which he told me to fk off, and I told him I would when he learned how to drive and use an indicator, a five year old could grasp the idea of them and he can't.

Then he kicked off a bit more, but in a store so he couldn't kick off loads, so I just stared at him and said
"you have a lot of anger issues don't you?"
Bought my Milwaukee heated jumper and walked off.


By the way, if you haven't got a Milwaukee heated jumper, omg, like oh my god, I think I have just completed life, you can actually be outside in the winter and be warm
