    No more than anyone who lives or works in London already knows, the vast majority of these tools have no respect for any road traffic laws but are the first to scream foul when one of them gets squashed

    BBC News - London cyclists 'collide with 25% of guide dogs' working in the capital


    Lord only knows when the authorities and police will take this seriously and address the issue of illegal riding by cyclists

    I would never tar everything with the same brush. Like many do with motorcyclist But I personally find some cyclists who of the high vis, Lycra and mostly commuting are mad and daft. running reds and riding on the path. I have a short trip home which includes a small section of 1 way. I have almost hit a few cyclists who think this does not apply to them and get annoyed when they come face to face with me goingn the right way up a 1 way street at the legal speed which means they have to jump out of the road.

    Not just London,the other day I witnessed a cyclist bump up onto pavement at red light and just about take out a pram,all to save a minute. If they want treated with respect then they have to ride with respect. Grown adults riding on pavements at speed is not on,that and the wrong way down one way streets just makes them fair game IMO;)
