I might go down there just to kick some back wheels if they don’t stop 😂
Can you imagine if a young child/small teenager was to cross. Those e-bikes speed and weight could kill them.
They’re all more important than you and have places to be. You’re inconsequential, it doesn’t matter that you’re waiting, you’re just a pedestrian. Or, in other words, they’re a bunch of ignorant arseholes
What happened to real zebra crossings?
Self entitled bell ends.
I cycle this lane daily and if HATE that people won’t stop for pedestrians
The cyclists are in the wrong, but the crossing is also badly designed.
The pelican crossing on Oxford Street near the Elizabeth Line entrance on Dean Street, is the worst for this.
It doesn’t matter if the traffic lights are RED and people are crossing, I’ve never seen a bike stop at them. It drives me crazy as I have to use it twice a day for work.
Am I within my right to kick them off? Coz I really feel like I’m close to it.
I lived in these parts for a few years. Cyclists are becoming outright dangerous. So many of them feel entitled to the road and don’t give a shit about pedestrians.
As a Dutch person where cycling is super common, the behaviour of london cyclists is fucking disgusting
edit: i just gonna edit here since people seem to think im implying that all cyclists in the netherlands are super well behaved, no. theres always gonna be disrespectfull riders. but in london its just so, So much worse
I’m an avid cyclist but regardless people are very bad at following rules on a bike, they don’t take it seriously cause ”it’s not real traffic like a car”, it’s especially bad with lime bikes etc since a lot of the riders are not recreational ones. All kinds of cyclists do this though, not just the ones using line etc
What an absolute bunch of cunts
And people were downvoting me on another post for saying most cyclists don’t stop 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lawless Lime & Forest bikes need to be banned and replaced with Santander Bikes. Cyclists need to have identification of some sort so penalties can be issued if the rules are broken, just like motor vehicle drivers.
**NEARLY ALL CYCLISTS IN THIS VIDEO ARE IN BREACH OF HIGHWAY RULE 170 H2**: At a junction you should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road into which or from which you are turning. Rule H2 applies to drivers, motorcyclists horse-drawn vehicles, horse riders **and cyclists**.
When they first opened that pathway in 2016 or so, bikers never stopped either.
Trying to cross got lots of cursing , yelling, and 2 accidents bc they did not slow down or stop
What an absolute stack of pricks
It drives me nuts. Pedestrians always get punished in new infrastructure for the wankie cyclist. In Hyde park they get six lanes of traffic you have to attempt to cross as a pedestrian. They never stop, will actually speed up and shout and scream at any inconvenience (like stopping at a red light).
They are also absolute cowards as they know they can just cycle away without any consequences.
Cunts
Love the dude who crashes into the stopped bike and acts like the only guy that stopped for the pedestrian is an idiot and caused the crash.
Needs posting to that entitled lot on London cycling reddit
This is unfortunately the norm for London. There is a zebra crossing near me and it’s a daily occurrence seeing cyclists plow through it with zero regard for pedestrians crossing or waiting. I dread to think how a guide dog or someone with mobility issues would be able to manage this
And inb4 the “BUT CARS” brigade – it is far less common for cars to skip zebra crossings/red lights because they face actual legal consequences. Where cars really fuck up in London is the size, speeding, and not giving way to pedestrians at junctions because they haven’t bothered to read the updated Highway Code (or most likely, they don’t care)
Yeah, unacceptable. Cycle for sure, but the highway code still needs to be obeyed and that was a pedestrian crossing so you must stop.
Actually this one is quite simple: they are selfish entitled cunts
You rarely see people on hired bikes riding in a calm and sensible manner. They’re usually pedalling like buggery and yelling at people to get out of their way .
When I cycle and stop at these crossings I now enjoy making my bike as wide as possible to stop these cunts as much as I can.
Arseholes.
FFS! Dickheads
It’s a zebra crossing. Anyone riding on the road needs to stop, motorised or not.
Typical cyclists using cycle lane they don’t think they should have to stop at crossings as cars are obliged to.
There’s a definite irony in cyclist banging on about how they need more infrastructure, then when they do get it they act like vastly more entitled shits than drivers ever do..
You’d never see drivers doing this to pedestrians. Maybe the odd person doesn’t stop, but the next person almost certainly would.
I used to be against plates for bikes but I see so much red light running that I think it time to introduce them
They ran into a child near me the other week and were lucky that they weren’t lynched.
This is also a bit of a problem since the guys who do stop like they are supposed to, risk getting rammed by some mug on a lime bike so it’s a poor situation overall
The way cyclists treat pedestrians is exactly the way they complain about being treated by road cars and buses. So many cyclists either don’t realise or don’t care about causing potentially life changing injuries to both the pedestrian and themselves.
Glad more people are cycling in London but genuinely shocked by how little sense of self preservation many of them have.
it’s bad but my favourite is still when I almost got hit by a biker while I was crossing on a GREEN LIGHT and he was crossing on red and when I called ‘hey’ his reaction was ‘fuck off’
My then 70 year old dad had a cyclist ride on the pavement and narrowly miss him. Of course the cyclist screamed abuse at my dad for being, ” a stupid old bastard” . Unfortunately for the cyclist my dad doesn’t take kindly to arseholes, and kicked him off his bike, and onto the road where he should have been. Car/bike/motorbike, people are arseholes
I do this cycle every day for work and this video makes me feel ashamed. I generally stop at red lights – though I might run the odd one – but always stop for pedestrian crossings. No one’s perfect.
Today on the commute home, I went slower and just observed how people cycle around this *ridiculously* busy area and it’s fucking baffling. The level of entitlement is gross. It’s not just lack of concern for pedestrians, it’s also a lack of concern towards everyone, other cyclists included.
Think people need to wake up to the environment they’re creating. No wonder everyone says we’re bellends. Shameful stuff.
A walking stick through the front wheel works a treat
That cycle lane is in blackfiars and is insanely dangerous.
Worked in London was walking over a pedestrian crossing with light, green man for me red light for cyclist….cyclist came on through the light, I shouted he shouted a profanity back….wish I could have kicked his back tyre….all because he would have had to put his feet down…
mayor@london.gov.uk you need to police this. I also had hideous experiences in London a few weeks ago. I didn’t feel safe. Loads of cyclists need taking through the courts to get messages out.
This is right next to my pub. The amount of arsehole cyclists that just bomb through red lights on the intersection next to this boils my piss
Just need a stiff pole, maybe you just been to the hardware store for a broom handle, then poke it through the front wheel when you are about to cross the Pedestrian Crossing! and you’ll have a nice pile up that puts those on the Tour De France to shame!!!
I would kick them.
It’s an enforcement issue.
I don’t see cops pulling over cars like in the US. If you speed or run red lights, cameras will bust you.
For cyclists, cameras don’t bust them, so they’ll do whatever like.
A few years ago, I saw an ambulance taking away the body of an elderly woman who was killed by a cyclist…on Oxford Street. He had a tricked out racing bike that had no brakes.
That’s when you start crossing with a nice big long stick. Watch all those dumbass’s get fucked
Those cyclists are doing a great demonstration of the reasons why so many people despise them.
It really pisses me off and these inconsiderate wankers are making the cycle routes unsafe for those of us who are actually stopping as they fly round you/into the back of you.
It’s the majority of cyclists doing this now in London too. I’m often the only person stopping at reds as other cyclists fly round me. This includes Lime Bikes, Santanders and lycra wearing racers.
There really needs to start being more enforcement for people doing this. Fine them, then ban them, if they’re caught again on a bike then criminal charges. If no one is enforcing the rules then it’s just going to get worse. I’ve started calling people out but I’m in the minority and it seems most people think it’s fine.
The amount of times I’ve almost been hit by a bike at crossings is insane. Even at lights, when the lights are red for cars.
Cunts.
I woman was literally killed by a bicyclist who didn’t stop. Awful people.
