Pet hates: cyclists
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
What is it with cyclists? I've no problem with them going through a red light if the road is clear. But I object to them ignoring a red light if pedestrians are legitimately crossing the road (as I was this morning!).
Worse, when I popped in to one of my favourite coffee shops in London, what did I find, propped against my regular bar stool? An effing bicycle, that's what! And on the table, where I normally spread my morning papers, was the owner's crimson cycling helmet!
The perpetrator, needless to say, was sitting at another table several feet away, sipping on a skinny mocha latte, reading the Guardian and looking incredibly smug. (OK, I made that bit up. He was reading the Independent.)
Next time I'll drive my car into the shop and park it next to him. See how he likes it.
