I’ve been so close to slapping 1-2 for doing the exact same thing…
I have clipped a guy but luckily stopped just as my handlebars touched him. Idiot crossed on his red light - I hate cannon street for that, always happens
I span someone a full 360 with a well placed shoulder barge once on the A3 (I think) in a similar situation…

I’m sh1tting myself now, its gonna be me that creams a pedestrian since I started this thread, innit!
Amazes me how fick some people are, and always seems to happen around the same places, New Kent Road bus stops at Elephant & Castle end seem to be a favourite, as does opposite New Cross Bus station and New Cross Road in Deptford, full of fooking zombies.
Northbound through E&C is always a good one in the morning, people running out from in front of a bus into 3 lanes of traffic instead of using one of the many pelican crossings or underpasses that are available.
After all, it’s definitely worth risking your life to save 30 seconds of walking.
Dozy bastards, the lot of them, especially when protected by the iPod of Invulnerability.
Only had contact with two peds. One was a chinese fella selling newspapers by mugging cars when they stopped at a red light on a fucking 6 lane junction. Shoulder charged him out the way then gave him a mild slapping when he had a go at me.
The other was some prick in a suit that bolted across the road without looking. Had me off that time. Cheeky ****** just got up and pissed off. I hit him hard though, so hopefull broke a few ribs.
Last month I had a guy on a scooter swerve into me, then have a go at me saying ‘didn’t you see me coming through?’
Using an underpass at Elephant is risking your life, but nowt up with the pedestrian crossings!
Ah, but are the less fick peds saying the same about us? We know where these regular places are, but how many riders do not factor that into the riding plan, you see the same pple everyday riding past highsided vehicles, either up the cycle lanes, between the multi lanes or down the outside of the traffic at stupid speeds. 10mph could be a stupid in some circumstances!
Is there a thread on londonpeds.com about how fick we are!:laugh:
