Cyclists do this really annoying thing:
You are listening out for cars as you cross the road - suddenly,
when the pushbike is right on top of you, you get this pathetic
little tinkle. I murmur to the cyclist, 'Sorry, didn't see you.'


Yeah, you wouldn't see him if you didn't look.

Why do cyclists look down on pedestrians as if we were pieces of
****?!


When cycling, I don't look down on pedestrians in general as if they're
pieces of ****. I look down on pedestrians who seem to think that a
bike doesn't really count so they

a) don't need to look out for them
b) can step out in front of them

I have similar feelings about this sort of thing
