What a spanner. Seriously, I don't understand why people do it.

(My favourite bit is when they cycle off in the direction they have come).

Anyway, as you were. Thought I would share

Dopey bint. It's quite amusing when she wipes her brow though.

They do it because not having to stop is more important to them than any kind of physical safety.

I watched one undertake a car around a corner as it turned left this morning. Hello to any moron cyclists in Colden Common, Hampshire.

At that crossing there are a lot of students wanting to take the train into Cambridge; I've seen them take some stupid risks before, but not on bikes and apparently without checking!

I suspect she was late for a train and assumed wrongly that it would be hers (Cambridge/London train would be coming from the other direction, slowing down and more easily spotted from her position). Very stupid, hopefully some of those who take these risks will wake up.

As the train had to apply the brakes, other than the upset for the driver, it's a real shame the train missed!

Really, you would have preferred she was killed?

I am with the bloke on the radio, its all the fault of the barries as they don't go over the complete road and if you were listening to music you could easily do it by mistake rolleyes

What a tt, how much more of an obvious sign do you need than bloody great big barriers coming down.

I was so annoyed with the comments on Jeremy Vine (from people on PH it seems rolleyes) that I turned it over.

That man is a tit.

Jeremy Vine starting is normally my cue to turn over the radio - the man himself is annoying enough, without inviting the clueless on to comment.

I really wish I could, he is so annoying and those that phone in are mental, but I can't help listening and then shouting at the radio.

I seem to remember one show where they had somehow strayed onto the subject of incest and cited....in all seriousness....Back to the Future (what with Marty and his Mum in the 50s) as an example.

They are half width so they can't trap a car in the middle when they go down. Doesn't stop bellends taking it as a slalom. I wonder if there has ever been a head on collision between two cars doing that.
