• To the lady on the Black and Purple Specialized on Clapham Rd if someone is going faster then yourself it is normally rule of thumb that you let them over take. Rather then riding further out making it impossible for me to pass you, only for you to then run out of steam and swerve back to the left nearly taking yourself out on a parked car.

    Also what is the correct etiquette to take when someone has taken a dick move to over take then had to try and force themselves back into line should I yield or keep the pace that I was doing. Keeping the pace would of meant said dick going into the back of a car?

    I thought the rule of thumb was that whoever's doing the overtaking must wait for a safe opportunity?

    Guess I've been doing it wrong. No wonder motorists get so angry with me straying out of the gutter and holding them up.

    Group riding etiquette is the rider moving through (on the right in this case I guess) should slow and get back in behind. This works the safest. Chances of the random nodder knowing this is pretty remote though. They might just do it because they're sensible. Maybe. If they cut in on you (uninvited) you're evasive action (braking) obviously can cause problems with riders behind.
