I’m dressed like this shopping in Iceland and a woman comes up to me and asks me do I own the blue Hyundai outside that’s blocking her in. Bewildered 😕
An elderly gent driver thought it would be funny to deliberately block the cycle lane and pretend to drive at me. Even when you alternate your route you still come across nasty idiots.
I should have been a fighter pilot. I escape a bonnet ride on the way home. Driver fails to see me on a mini roundabout. Tell me again about hi-viz and lights!
The diabetic nurse said that lockdown and isolation was the cause of my diabetic crisis. She reviewed my past blood results and said that cycling was keeping my diabetes firmly controlled. 100% proof that cycling can save your life.
If you are a cyclist and you have gone out on a ride and had no negative experiences, that’s great, that is the purpose of all the hard working cyclists who take their time to report the dangerous drivers.
Drivers should be afraid of breaking the law every time they take a drive in their car instead of vulnerable road users being terrified to use the road because of drivers.
A young woman was engrossed in a phone conversation and ran out in front of my car this evening. You know what, I expected it and slowed down and prepared for it. She was shocked but relieved. Expect the unexpected concentrate on the road ahead at all times.

We are having to do this at the minute because my wife is going for spinal surgery next week. People look at you strange but if she gets covid her surgery will be cancelled for a few months and if she has to wait any longer she will lose even more mobility.
Appeal to trace cyclist following a collision that occurred on Shorton Grange Road
Cyclist has illegally ridden on the pedestrian crossing causing minor damage to a passing car
I got angry. I was moving left to let the moped rider past in the cycle/bike/bus lane and this driver pulls out on me. She lets the moped rider proceed and drives on out like I am not there and she doesn't care, like I don't exist.
I got a reply from the truck company O’Reilly transport. I am very happy with their response and I trust they are dealing with the driver appropriately.
An attempted left hook on a blind bend. Driver has no idea what she did wrong. They give these people driving licenses and control of a killing machine. This happened on my quiet route.
went on my bicycle to the local shop for a bottle of whiskey yesterday. I was worried that the bottle might break as it was swinging in a plastic bag on the handlebars. I decided to open it and drink it just incase. It was just as well because I fell off 7 times on the way home
I wondered why he needed a tinted plate. Then it all came clear. This has to be a massive failure in policing of our roads if drivers can use these plates on their vehicles without a care.
It’s seems apparent, from posts on Twitter that cars are not designed to travel at 20mph. So it’s time that the car industry made cars that meets the needs of the motorists.
One thing I have realised whilst cycling this morning London is not a city of drivers. I have never seen so many people walking, cycling, scootering, taking public transport and generally getting around without a car.
Looks like the police are going to let the driver off with this without any prosecution without even seeing the footage because the damage to the vehicles were minor and the driver wasn’t aware he hit anything I have demanded they view the footage I am so pissed off.
I received a delightful private message this morning jeez how original. I’m tweeting it for all the world to see because I’m not embarrassed for being a lesbian and dyke on a bike has a bit of a ring to it. Homophobia isn’t cool though bro.

An eleven-month-old baby was hospitalised after a car collided with a roadside bike hangar which councillors were reportedly warned was dangerously placed.

A young yob hit me with a golf ball on my commute home. It hurt like hell and there will be a bruise in the morning. Footage is too dark to identify any of them so probably no point in reporting it at all. I mean who would deliberately want to hurt an older lady cyclist?

No sympathy, if you are attending an event and you know there is limited parking then find another way. It’s a pavement for pedestrian not somewhere to store your private property to inconvenience others.
Driver driving illegally in the bus/cycle lane stops over the crossing then attempts to move forward as the children were crossing the road. My heart was in my mouth when I saw her brake lights go off.
I collided with a child who ran out into the road into my path. He was unharmed thankfully. I made sure he was ok, I rang the police and his mummy. I stayed with him until his bus finally came. Thankfully it’s not a tragic story but bad enough for my nerves and stress levels. 😢

My daughter rescued this big boy from being drowned when he was a kitten. She was visiting a friend and the boys father was going to drown the kitten because he was sick. She just grabbed him and brought him home. 10 years later here is ozzy still here.
I accrued 100 hours flexi and let it go because I knew I could never take it. I accrued another 100 hours so I let those go too and stopped recording the number of hours I worked beyond my shift. Flexi is pointless when you can’t take it.

My daughter was walking home up the falls with her newborn baby and came across a young man from the homeless shelter. He was about to jump from the westlink bridge. She talked him off the edge and chatted long enough for the welcome centre staff to come and help. Proud of her
Female driver doing the school run threatened me this morning on my commute. I have experienced her driving before and she has obviously remembered me.
Do you think it was bad of me to go really slow in front of a driver who used the bus lane to bunk the queue to overtake about 25 cars who were patiently waiting in the correct lane.
I have noticed a very strange phenomenon. If I post a dashcam video from the car very little engagement from drivers regarding the driving. When I post a cycling video I get full analytics from very driver troll that lives on twitter. Analysing every millisecond to find fault
@anneramsey740
Perhaps if you hadn't have been cycling in the middle of the road and the driver wasn't focused on you, his angle of view would have been more open and he would have seen the hazard.... Just a thought!
@elliotsteelcom
My nephew was killed while cycling by a driver with poor vision. 5 people a day are killed by drivers but hey yea you get you kicks and your clicks making fun of the victims. Not a good look.
I never imagined that twitter drivers would be so triggered by a post featuring a driver with no MOT or VED. Or is it only cyclists without these that annoy them 🤷♀️
The new bike is second hand. Only used a few times during lockdown. The lady resold it after a few months because the traffic got too heavy and she was scared. 🤷♀️☹️
I will never be as lucky again. This one I have reported and the vehicle is untaxed. So they drive like an idiot and don't care that they are not road legal.
Drivers, this is not how you should pass a mother pushing a pram down a narrow road. Slow down. Please move over. I leave more space and I'm on a bike! Red Vauxhall Mokka with Jersey registration J385472. Pedestrians beware.
Had a terrible commute home with a angry driver revving and tailgating me and a taxi driver shouting abuse at me out of his window. Though it didn’t deter me from going out and buying a winter bike.
