Woo-Hoo! Finally got a good one. Two lane bit of Coronation Road in Bristol, the left lane goes right, the right straight on. Lorry waiting at the light to go straight on, the lights are red, could change at any moment to I elected not to filter past the lorry on the left to the front and sat behind him. Chap behind me on a old purple steel road bike didn't and went past to perform literally the most mal-coordinated trackstand I have yet seen, then when he obviously couldn't hold it any more (he looked like a clown on a balancing ball) he ran the red light. Worst of all were his socks, which were an off-red fanneling type, thick and wrinkled.
I wanted to catch up with him to have a word about his socks, his crappy trackstand and why you no filter on the left bro, but he blocked the lorry along the road, which in turn blocked me and eventually he just peeled off left. I am disappoint.
