“I thought I told you to wait in the car”

[A.J. Stranger @AStrangerJ]

@Uber I tend to drink quite heavily, and I don’t really like strangers. Would that be a problem?

[A.J. Stranger @AStrangerJ]

@northshawmick @Anthony23Bryant I had exactly this happen about 3 weeks ago. Absolute scumbags out there now, worse than they’ve ever been.

@TinaSuSe I’ve been skiing for many years. I’ve yet to learn of someone crashing into another skier and deliberately making a hasty exit. Skiers, it would seem, have more decorum than many cyclists.

Just heard from the garage. It’s going to cost me £540 to put this right ffs.
Cars pose the greater danger to life & limb, but it’s obvious that bikes also need to be insured in cases like this. Why should I have to once again carry the cost, I did nothing wrong.

[A.J. Stranger @AStrangerJ]

Cyclist clattered into the back of my stationary cab just now…..and f*cked off before I could catch hold of him. Just been told it could cost upwards of £300 to fix.
These f*ckers need to be made traceable/identifiable asap. 😡😡😡

[A.J. Stranger @AStrangerJ]

@Johnnytiptoes1 I’m on it 👍

[A.J. Stranger @AStrangerJ]

@Morgannaredhead Not a rear one unfortunately. Time for an upgrade 😞

[A.J. Stranger @AStrangerJ]

I was hit by a cyclist today who then rode off. If I were to have grabbed him but he refused to give me his details, what options would I have, bearing in mind I wouldn’t want to lose my badge. Serious question btw👍

[A.J. Stranger @AStrangerJ]

@tsuk78639968 Any profits could be put back into cycling infrastructure or training. I really can’t see an insurmountable downside. It’s not right that inexperienced or irresponsible cyclists can ride around with impunity. Some level of accountability is needed.

@tsuk78639968 It wouldn’t be as problematic as cyclists make out. People could buy a uniquely numbered, colour coded bib each year, which comes with insurance. They needn’t cost very much. Buy them online, shops or vending machines. Discounts if a cycling proficiency test is passed.

@TonyLeeLondon 😂😂😂👍

[A.J. Stranger @AStrangerJ]

@BobbyJokerjam @SmashMouth30 To argue against it, citing barriers to entry, is pure nonsense. Common sense should be the priority, not abdication of responsibility.

[Dr Mariana Claire Marinovic 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇲 @DrMarianaClaire]

@AStrangerJ I'm a cyclist and agree that cyclists need to be insured and our bikes need some form of registration on them.

[A.J. Stranger @AStrangerJ]

@SmashMouth30 Thank you Doc, that’s much appreciated. Too often we see knee-jerk defence of cyclists on here, by others loathe to be seen to criticise fellow enthusiasts. There must be hundreds, if not thousands of other such incidents every day. It’s very unfair.

[A.J. Stranger @AStrangerJ]

@walshswalls No, I’m fine Mate, thanks. All I felt was a little bump, and then saw him turning around in the rear view mirror and pedalling away. He was halfway down Connaught St by the time I was out of the cab

[A.J. Stranger @AStrangerJ]

@CabaxiMark Yeah, saw that. I need to check to see if it will fit my 2020 plate and then find out if it’s a pain to fit. I’ll know more tomorrow 👍

[A.J. Stranger @AStrangerJ]

@ComplyQVM @thebarkingtweet @AndyCoxDCS There’s more chance of the cyclist being overcome with guilt and tracking me down in order to make good than him replying. Cyclists can do no wrong in his book.

[A.J. Stranger @AStrangerJ]

@PeckhamDoggy Cheers John. Absolute scumbags.

@ComplyQVM @thebarkingtweet I’d be more inclined to go through the Small Claims Court than the Met. Still, without positively ID’ing them…..🤷🏼‍♂️
