Asking if someone happens to know someone riding a single-speed bike on a single-speed-bike forum is hardly crazy. An outside bet, for sure.
An advisory cycle lane is just that, the driver may not be the world's greatest but you can imagine the cyclist being called out on the 'bad cyclists' thread for desperately trying to get to the front when there wasn't space.
Taking your bag off the bike and calmly walking away doesn't look like how you would behave if you were terrified. More like if the first word out of your mouth had been 'sorry' and you didn't fancy facing up to the consequences of your own shit cycling.
