Evening traffic report with Neasden Postlethwaite

[hirez]

Dear black-clad fuckwit, I'd appreciate it if you'd fuck off and try to die somewhere else.

For future reference, it's a fucking stupid idea to walk down the left hand side of an unlit minor road without a torch or some flavour of light or reflective clothing. You cock. If being hit by a bicycle hadn't killed you, I'm sure an angry cyclist belabouring you with a Krypto lock would have done the job.

I warned you about going to Whitby.

Seriously: what annoys me is that I'm fine with stupid people acting in such a way that they will get killed, but not when by so doing they're going to traumatise the person who runs into them.

I'm toying with turning up at the next Whitby in steampunk garb, just to irk the purists.

I'm also going to get some serious fuck-off lights for the bike.

Sir will be requiring a 1000 lumens LED from Hope

Sufficient light to land a 747 by the looks of things.

Oh yes indeed.

I was going to suggest Lumicycle HIDs but that bugger is worth two of them!

I've heard lots of good things about Dinottes, too.

I'm about to buy some lights but I think I will spring for something a bit cheaper...

You could have your wheels spelling our random obscenities. Cool!

I wouldn't put them on a proper road bike, but they're very tempting for the Courier...

One wheel reads 'fuck off' and the other 'car drivers'.

"proper road bike" ?

You'll be talking like Wingnuts and shaving your legs next!
