Crazy Cyclists!

[Hectic Glenn]

Well i just thought i'd share something i saw today, i was walking down a busy high road with many shops on and this skip lorry was coming the otherway with some 40 year old, shaven head lorry driver in the driver seat. But hanging from the side of the driver door (which was open) was a young bloke of about 20 hanging by one hand to the truck and swinging huge punches into the lorry drivers face as he drove down the road in this huge vehicle. He carries on and knocks the lorry driver out it seemed and the lorry crashes into the pavement and up the grass embankment on the other side of the road (thank god). The guy then jumps down from the lorry, unharmed (god knows how), and gets on a push bike laying in the road about 50 metres back and cycles off. :O

It seemed the cyclist had been cut up and knocked off his bike by the lumbering lorry driver and he was so pissed off he decided to beat the guy up nearly killing everyone or going through a shop window. Some people across the road helped the driver out the lorry, he seemed fine with some red marks on his face. The police turned up like half an hour later, the cyclist was well gone, but holy smokes, hows that for drama. Moral is give cyclists consideration on the road!

Cyclists always have right of way on the roads imo.

We should be like holland. Cycling rules.

 

[Ennui]

What the hell?

 

[Cormeh]

Cyclists always have right of way on the roads imo.

When they pay road tax, then maybe.

 

[Solaris]

Heh, they do save us money by not f****g the enviorment though.

 

[Dekstar]

It's like a shitty British version of the L.A. Riots.

 

[Cormeh]

Heh, they do save us money by not f****g the enviorment though

Well shit. :|

Obviously. Lets just draw a line right here, at cycling doesn't suit everyone, as cars don't suit everyone.

 

[CptStern]

heh gotta love british temperment ..only in the UK would that scene you described happen ...in any other country it would have ended as soon as the cyclist pulled a gun


crazy and stupid that he risked the lives of people because of road rage

 

[kirovman]

Damn right . Obviously it was stupid of the cyclist but really, it is not safe for cyclists on the road and it's ridiculous.

yea it would only be in the UK that what he described happen because nobody in america says the word "lorry" :cheese:

 

[DreadLord]

What the balls is a lorry?

 

[CptStern]

truck ..the kind that goes vroooom vroooom

 

[Ren.182]

Wow, i bet that was a pretty crazy sight.
I've seen something similar happen when a coach cut up a car, the bloke got out the car and had a go at the bloke in the coach holding up two lines of traffic. No punches thrown though D:

 

[lePobz]

I hate cyclists... ignorant arrogant patronising SLOW ASS liabilities, every last one of them.

 

[The Monkey]

In my town there're more bicycles than humans (for real). Even though we got lots and lots of road specifically designated for bicycles, they still use the auto roads.

 

[Jammydodger]

Im a keen mountain biker and I loved this story always good to hear about the underdog coming out on top.

Just passed my driving test few weeks ago too.

 

[Mutley]

Morale of the story? If you see a cyclist, don't slow down!

 

[tehsolace]

"And so I hopped in my lorry..."

just stop right there england...

GAY WORD.

 

[tehsolace]

I hate cyclists... ignorant arrogant patronising SLOW ASS liabilities, every last one of them.

i hate how they feel like they can take up a whole LANE of traffic like some broken down car going 5mph when theres a ****ing sidewalk along the street :frown:

 

[kirovman]

"And so I hopped in my lorry..."

GAY WORD.

Truck? That sounds like you're wearing fishnet suspenders.

Lorry is a very masculine word.

 

[lePobz]

Only an american could be foolish enough to think us ENGLANDers are misusing our OWN DAMN LANGUAGE

 

[tehsolace]

Lorry is a very masculine word.

Lorry sounds like somebody saying Larry with a boston accent.... its just annoying.

Truck is a very short and sharp word... which makes it masculine. Like "F*ck" or "Sh*t"... short and sharp, and said by men

 

[tehsolace]

Only an american could be foolish enough to think us ENGLANDers are misusing our OWN DAMN LANGUAGE

i doubt they had the word "lorry" back in the 16th century... just cause the british originally had the english language doesnt mean every word they invent becomes a global standard.

 

[kirovman]

Lorry Drivers tend to be serial killers, they murder hitchhikers. There's nothing more masculine than that.

I own a truck/lorry


"hey buddy need a ride?! MUAHAHAHA"

 

[lePobz]

Of course they had lorries in the 16th century ... idiot.

 

[theotherguy]

lol, I thought lorrys were like trollies, not trucks. Lorry is such a funny word, I love british slang, it sounds so much less vulgar than american slang. :cheese:

And you're right, we shouldn't be saying you use the language wrong, its just different, like castillian spanish versus mexican spanish.

It descends from railroad terminology in the early 19th century, meaning 'to pull'. In conclusion, shut up.

Uh. The 19th century would be AFTER the 16th century. You do realize that America and Britian have been two seperate countries for...oh...about 200+ years. I think that gives us plenty of leeway to develop our differences in what USED to be the same exact language.

You just ruined a perfectly good language, and don't even think to take our name off your filth.

Uh. I never made the time period an issue, you did. The point is that the word descends from terminology used during the start and rise of the railway, something that was not restricted to Britain, funnily enough.

 

[lePobz]

I didn't, I merely suggested Americans have no place telling the English how to speak English.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

It's not slang it's a proper word silly. Dear god lets not get into an language debate again of how the language has been bastardised in countless ways. However axyon's post is pretty much to the point and made me laugh so i stand by his words.

And tehsolace, cut the double posting mate.

 

[tehsolace]

The current usage is British-based... which is my point. Just because this word is being used normally in Britian doesn't mean it should in America, nor does the fact that English was used in Britian before America give them any more rights to the language and its changes over the past 200+ years...

 

[kirovman]

Oh yeah!?!?!


Well Latin hasn't changed in 2000 years, buddy!

 

[lePobz]

Aaaaaaanyway, cyclists suck. Get a car or walk, unless you want an early grave.
