    I swear to phuck I'm nearly assassinated by edgelord urban nomad cyclists two or three times a week. I've had these uber dudes and their spacelord gormless female counterparts career into me around corners, cut across inches in front of me on footpaths, tear at my phuckin heels as they 'expertly' control their 'vehicles' along busy footpaths winding in and between pedestrians, or ring their bells aggressively from behind me asking me to give way on a *pedestrian street* usually with a jansport bag on their back, with mirror shades and maybe a bandana.

    CAN U PHUCKIN PEOPLE USE THE BICYCLE LANES AND PHUCKIN ROADS PLS???!!

    I run the gauntlet every day with motorists driving in cycle lanes, cutting me off the road without indicating, opening doors directly in my path and a dozen other life threatening manoeuvres.


    I don't cycle but is this the type of thing one is supposed to reply with.

    What on earth is an urban nomad edgelord?

    I presume it's a nomad edgelord from the big smoke.

    I don't drive or cycle. Is it too much to ask for knobjockeys on two wheels to not 'almost' hit me when I'm minding my own business on the footpath?? I feel like I'm supposed to be a babysitter for these fools. Either go super slow on footpaths and take care of pedestrians OR go on the phuckin road. This urban warrior super skillz (no skillz) bullchite is lame and dangerous.

    Looked it up but it doesn't seem to make sense in this context.
    one who makes wildly dark and exaggerated statements (usually on an internet forum) with the intent of shocking others.

    Me too. I thought they were some sort of tantric orgasm delayers but how bikes fits into that I don't know. Maybe I am mixing up terms. Spacelords, no idea, but I kinda like the sound of the word, and now I want to be one. Hope it's something cool.

    You want to be dead because you careered into a tesco trolley being pushed by pensioners in your van sneakers and quadruple wrap Palestinian scarf killing the healthy and happy pensioners finely free of the obligation to produce with your trousers around your ankles and tiny teeny dead flesh peen resting on a packet of frozen peas? Low expectations man.

    Oh goodness no! And if I must have a peen I want a reasonably sized one, please. :(

    I saw a jogger push a cyclist off his bike

    Was this a good thing or a bad thing ?

    ( Please keep your answer to yourself )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,444 ✭✭✭DMcL1971


    I genuinely have no idea what this thread is about. So far I have discerned that it has something to do with cycling. I presume edgelord and spacelord are some sort of slang words and god knows what an urban nomad is supposed to be.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,275 ✭✭✭Your Face


    I also don't like when people cycle on the footpath.

    As a pedestrian in Ireland, I was nearly hit by car drivers not paying attention far more often than cyclists. Both could pay a hell of a lot more attention, yet for all their complaining about each other they never acknowledge they could do better themselves.

    That's the most I've not had a clue what someone was banging on about.
    Since someone tried to explain tracker mortgages to me.
    Or my mother tried to teach me bridge.

    Jesus, are you not liked in your community.
    Are you sure someone isn't trying to take you out and are trying to make it look like an "accident".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26,658 ✭✭✭✭OldMrBrennan83


    All cyclists should be just ran into the sea. Just make everything else a cycle lane because you know then they won't ****ing use it.


  • Administrators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 78,393 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Beasty


    Only a matter of time before private cars are completely banned in urban areas. Cycling will be the most efficient way of getting round cities, as climate change forces countries into policies that are currently considered almost unthinkable

    I'll drop into the Cycling forum to alert them to this opportunity to promote a healthy and ethical lifestyle.
