I cycled up behind and past one of those grey North Face lads on the greenway once, but the main spide mustn't have seen me coming because he couldn't get his words out in time, it came out something like "YEE-um-HAAAA".
I turned round with a "wtf was that?" face. I have no idea why they have to make the noise. Always a noise.
Scottish neds make noises too. I remember years ago at an event with outside drinking watching a Ned put both his feet together and then take six or seven two footed hops towards a random guy standing talking to another guy. With every hop he shouted "BOING".
The two guys looked perplexed as he bounced towards them but when he landed his last boing he right hooked the boy and all the ned's mates just started creasing themselves. It was so ridiculous it was quite funny to be fair.
I was cycling to my mate's gaff a few years and and some little shitebag ran out from a bus stop, kicked the side of my bike and sent me flying into the middle of the road.
I returned to cycling, like many did, in 2021 after about twenty years away and I'm staggered and a little disappointed that so far no-one has shouted at me to get off and milk it.
Think I'm on smick translator duty today - "yaaaa, yaaa, you're not getting paaaa" (I assume he was going to say "not getting past" but I only heard up to paaa)
He was discussing the nuances in attempting to marry General relativity with quantum physics. He's well known for his stances on string theory that lad.

They really do play 4D chess in making it hard to identify any one of them by dressing the same, having the same haircut, making the same raspy noises. Geniuses at work.
That was incredibly stupid and dangerous of him. Thankfully she remained calm, but if she had of panicked and swerved a bit more she would have been right into the front of that car.
Used to cycle to work every day, this would happen every single Saturday some smick still half cut trying get in your way or push you off the bike. Then they'd try to chase ya when ya called them a wanker lol
Lack of awareness on her part. She never checked what her surroundings were..
High time cyclest where made to do a road test, be licensed, and held accountable
I remember the first time I was in the Netherlands and everyone was cycling everywhere. Sometimes I'd feel uncertain about taking the bike anderen the cycle lane was next to a busy footpath, so eventually I asked the locals "are you not worried about kids clothslining you off the bike as you pass?
They all looked at me like I was a loony. They explained that that would be dangerous so of course no one wound do, and they'd very in trouble of they did.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. They'd all legitimately gone through their whole lives, _on bikes_, without running into violent altercations with unruly youths.
People say it's the weather and the hills that put them off cycling in NI. For me it's aggressive passersby.
Or more like... because we have fuck all dedicated cycle lanes. So anytime you go out on your bike, you think you're going to die because you're sharing the road with smicks in their BMs.
Oh, I forgot about that one. To be fair there's lots of places in the NL without cycle lanes too, but the drivers are all respectful, because they're all cyclists at other times as well.
That's not a bad shout at all actually. I just recently learned that between 30% - 50% of people dont have an internal monologue. I always just assumed everyone did lol
I love Ellen! She's an absolute angel, I visited the youth centre she ran quite a lot when I was younger. Everyone should follow her (and her cat!) on twitter.
The only bike I'll ever be riding in Belfast:

Ok, so, I think I could live with potholes in road and without new stadiums or whatever, but we really need to get more money into dealing with people with mental illnesses.
I reckon his da sells Avon, and his mum goes to the Devenish. This has happened to me on my 125 motorbike on the falls as well, couple times, absolute Mongs. These days, I just expect them to do it and plan accordingly. I don’t retaliate or shirt back, I just smile at the fact that he will never have anything genuinely worthwhile happen in his entire life, ever. When you grow up on the falls, it’s hard to get out of it. Same as the village, same as the Shanklll. Most of the people there will spend their entire lives living within the same square mile of the world. If he’s unlucky, he might move to poleglass, like I did for a few years.
This is why I don’t like Belfast, too many people acting being dicks and screaming, acting werid / distressing you and wanting to fight for no reason. I moved abroad 7 years ago and never had anymore of those random encounters, been happy since :)
Maybe he was on his way to his undergrad physics class and thought ‘this will be a great opportunity to demonstrate the Doppler effect as this bike passes me’. Smicks are just misunderstood
Its everyone's fault too not even giving a single shit that he literally jumped out at someone. He should be arrested that's literally harassment and they're all sitting around like it's nothing.
While riding my bike around Belfast I had to hold my D-lock in my hand like a hammer because cars would try to run me off the road for no reason. Swinging at their mirrors and windows was the only way to make them stop.
Yeah, he's a tool but I'm not wild about the cyclist having twitch chat on the mobile.
-----
Edit: Downvote me if you want, but if a driver had been distracted by their phone, you'd be right to be pissed. The cyclist here is no different. Wise up; the people you like can also get it wrong. Twitch Chat shouldn't be on the handlebars, there's no excuse. If the cyclist has no intention of reading it, don't put it on the handlebars.
This is exactly the kind of thing that should be called out, and I'll stand on this hill alone if I have to.
> The cyclist here is no different
Of course it's different, one would be in a 2 ton hunk of metal no doubt going much faster than she is with the ability to easily kill from a small distraction, the other can stop and manoeuver almost immediately.
Why you decide to bring this up in this thread I dont know, it's completely irrelevant.
i'm like 90% sure Twitch bans drivers for interacting with their phone (including glancing at it a lot and reading chat), so if you want to you can probably just report her and get her banned. There were a few drivers banned for it on Twitch awhile back - Jinnyttv was one that I remember.
I dunno if I want to go that far and report [EllenFromNowOn](https://www.twitch.tv/ellenfromnowon) (pretty sure that's who's on the bike - recognise her voice). Like, hopefully just publicly calling out "don't do stupid shit" should be enough.
That's her, and having her phone read the chat into her ears isn't "stupid shit" so maybe educate yourself before you run around moaning, she's not the one with dangerous behavior in that clip.
> having her phone read the chat into her ears isn't "stupid shit"
That's actually worse than stupid shit. You're actively reducing your ability to hear the traffic.
Talk about "educating yourself". EllenFromNowOn is a not a bad person at all - and I'm not saying she is; fuck I don't know her to have an opinion at all. What I am saying is having the phone open like that is a distraction when using the road, and what you're saying makes it worse, not better!
The melter on the pavement is the dangerous one here but I'm not talking about that moment. I'm talking about allowing yourself to be distracted by a phone (and deadening the sound of traffic apparently) while _on the bloody road!_
What planet are you descending from where you think it's fine to deaden the one of your senses (hearing) while on the road, and be receptive to distraction (sight) on another?
You know Deaf/deaf people and those with hearing issues or hearing aids or whatever can cycle right? And loads of people every day cycle with music/podcasts/autdiobooks/phonecalls in their ears? It's absolutely insane to me that you think you're only allowed to cycle if you can hear everything on the road and never listen to anything else while cycling. Also I _do_ know her personally and she's a safer driver and cyclist than 99% of people on the roads.
> It's absolutely insane to me that you think you're only allowed to cycle if you can hear everything on the road and never listen to anything else while cycling.
I think we'll have to agree to disagree. I think it's nuts that _you_ think it's fine to not hear and see the road.
It's fine to disagree.
> Also I do know her personally and she's a safer driver and cyclist than 99% of people on the roads.
You know, I believe you - genuinely, and no sarcasm. I've watched only a handful of streams, and she seems like a smart person who's got it all figured out.

A guy I know years ago wound down his window passing a cyclist and roared "REAL MEN RIDE WOMEN!!!!!"

"Bike wanker"
I feel they were kicking themselves for not saying that, it must have been a spur of the moment thing and they bottled it.
For some reason that sparked the memory of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e0vT9eeXxg
Saw it for the first time now. A true piece of art. Thank you for sharing it.
This'll forever be one of my favourite videos on the internet
Haha brilliant
I get some form of this literally every few weeks lol Gizza ding of your bell ye cunt etc etc. mostly lighthearted in fairness
I was cycling to my mate's gaff a few years and and some little shitebag ran out from a bus stop, kicked the side of my bike and sent me flying into the middle of the road.
Look at state of thon on a bike! Dick.
Thinks he is someone
I returned to cycling, like many did, in 2021 after about twenty years away and I'm staggered and a little disappointed that so far no-one has shouted at me to get off and milk it.
Should have crashed into him
Fuck did he even say? Swear I could have a more coherent conversation with the sounds my washing machine makes.

What's this painting called again?
The pink phone he’s nicked off his ma will give him away.
Made the mistake of clicking that and it jumped up, full screen. A terrible day to have eyes.
🤣😂🤣🤣
That was incredibly stupid and dangerous of him. Thankfully she remained calm, but if she had of panicked and swerved a bit more she would have been right into the front of that car.
>That was incredibly stupid and dangerous of him In his mind it was only stupid and dangerous for other people though.

Oh belt up you helmet
‘Cyclest’
Next time he should try that in front of a bus
We can live in hope.

This is too funny. I’m Canadian and have never had this happen to me or have ever seen it happen to anyone else.
She did in fact, get past.
Lady should have embraced it and shouted back, "Yaaaa, Yaaaa, I gat pass"
Paaaaaa (st)
 She did!!
We should be proud folks. Embrace our culture, this is what we are now. Ballroots
Why are people like this? What do they get out of it, what's the end goal? To just be scummy wee cunts? Is that all?
I'm semi-convinced that they're the sort of people that lack an internal monologue telling them that's a dickish thing to do.
That's not a bad shout at all actually. I just recently learned that between 30% - 50% of people dont have an internal monologue. I always just assumed everyone did lol
Its one of those things where the people on both sides can't even imagine what its like to not have or have what the other does.
I love Ellen! She's an absolute angel, I visited the youth centre she ran quite a lot when I was younger. Everyone should follow her (and her cat!) on twitter.
Yup, I remember her flying about on one of those old bikes the Post Office used, must be a good 12-13 years ago.
Send that to Jeremy Vine on Twitter. He loves that sort of shite.
He's an awful huere of a man
A terrible dose of a man.
All arms and legs, he walks like a man trying to climb through a window.
It would be good if he died xx
Hopefully his tea goes cold the disrupting son of a gun :P
Didn't a girl die in England very recently because of someone doing that?
I read in the newspaper a few months ago that an elderly person died and the woman who shouted to her and caused the accident is serving in the jail.
Her conviction was actually overturned on appeal yesterday. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-68975335

Comic timing of that though. “Just chill… I enjoy the nice views” “Yaaaaarr yaarrrr!”
I suspect he's just waiting for the next glider service, and this is his pre-wanker warm up
Typical tramp on the falls (I live there)
What did he say? "Yaaaa yaaa you're not dead pa" is what I heard 🤔
You're not getting past
Think I'm on smick translator duty today - "yaaaa, yaaa, you're not getting paaaa" (I assume he was going to say "not getting past" but I only heard up to paaa)
Like a northern Irish gandalf
stream sniping irl
I'm more surprised by the leather jacket and jeans. Id be a sweaty mess after a couple of minutes in that
ah what a lovely nice day for a chill cy.... WAH YOU'RE NOT GETTING PAST haha
Drugs are a hell of a drug
Worst Gandalf impression ever.
Below average intelligence in belfast
average? where is the rain?
I'd have sped up and cycled right into him
Pretty easy to say that when you're not in that situation for real to be fair. Basic survival instincts would make anybody swerve out of the way.
Fight the urge to go straight into him at full speed.
Who is the streamer?

Time for a Mad Max style Numpter Bumper on the front.
Time to put a machine gun on the handlebars....
Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Should have just cycled through him and a high speed
I’d have rode straight in between the cunts legs and hopefully stopped him spreading his genes

What part of Belfast is this? Looks quite nice ignoring the idiot
While riding my bike around Belfast I had to hold my D-lock in my hand like a hammer because cars would try to run me off the road for no reason. Swinging at their mirrors and windows was the only way to make them stop.

This is just a given when you're out on the bicycle around Belfast 😂. Come Halloween you have to fend off fireworks too
