Tonight I was in the c*r as I dropped son & heir off at his club and then went on to do the grocery
shopping. On the way home, I was stopped at some traffic lights on red at the front of the queue. I
was signalling to turn left at the lights as the lights were at a T junction.
The lights turned to green, so I got into first & started to pull away to do the *immediate* left
turn - the one I was signalling to do. Then - up the inside (cycling in the gutter) came a
stealth cyclist, no lights to be seen, and turned left as I was signalling to do and just about
to make the turn.
AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!
I wouldn't care, but he was wearing Lycra ;-) He was also in dark clothing, no lights to be seen, no
reflectives and on a race bike, rather than the usual MTBs of the standard stealth cyclist ;-)
AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
I don't jump lights, but if I'd been impatient at the lights, the stealth cyclist coming up the
inside of a line of left turning vehicles (this particular lane is for a left turn) could well have
been knocked off. Next time he decides to do this in the dark, no lights, up the inside of a line of
traffic waiting to turn right, he might just not make it
As well as that sort of action really tees me off as it gets cyclists a bad name.
AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!
Rant mode off - normal service now resumed
Cheers, helen s
p.s. I'll bet he was wearing bibtights! ;-)
AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!
