Despite there being new dedicated 4 foot wide cycle lanes on the embankment (with solid white lines, meaning vehicles can't go in them (legally), some to55ers still insist on riding in the middle of these lanes.

Suggestion: slower riders ride towards the inside of the lane, leaving a safe gap for people who want to ride quicker on the outside? Kind of like a 2 lane road. I'm sure people would get p1ssed off if people drove up the middle of the A1 all the time rather than sitting in lane 1 or lane 2....

I had to resort to calling someone a pr1ck today as they wouldn't move....

rant over.

Get really close to the back of them and buzz their back tyre with your front tyre repeatedly until they get the message.

Alternatively, get an airhorn hehe

Blimey, that takes me back... what did we used to call that as kids? Burnies wasn't it?

Hours of fun that was.

Excellent advice. Great that the police have also stopped parking in the one by Westminster!
