Bus driver complaint and OYBike

wrote in message : POB's tend to be relatively slow cyclists (except for those couriers that I've read about). So a POB will sail past a Real Cyclist at a red light, then get in the way when the Real Cyclist catches up after the lights change. Repeatedly, when there are as many traffic lights as in London. I have nothing to add to this; i just wanted to say that THIS DRIVES ME ABSOLUTELY ****ING INSANE!!! These idiots should not be allowed to ride a bike. Or to breed. Or, in fact, to live. It pains me, as a notorious woolly liberal, to have to agree wholeheartedly. Riding in the smoke the other day along one of those hellish contraflow cycle lanes bounded by high kerbs (so overtaking was almost impossible) a long line of cyclists finally managed to pass an 8mph old codger on a gas-pipe Raleigh, only to have him wobble straight past, across a red light and into the next section ahead of the line. I really did come very close to kicking the old fart off his bike. And I really am the most gentle of souls, I can only remember ever hitting one person in my life, and that in self-defence after I was amushed by a group of yobs. Guy -- May contain traces of irony.
