On Whitechapel there is a garage where every taxi driver in London lies waiting to pull out into the main road at 90degrees. I was cycling past said junction and a taxi did indeed pull out in front of me. luckily i'm in primary in the left lane, I move (safely) around the taxi and give him a cheery thumbs up to congratulate him on his driving.
SOME DICKCHEESE, wearing black shorts and a black jumper with yellow sleeves then undertakes me and points at the gutter. I ask him at the lights what it meant and he said that he was forced to undertake me and i should spend less time making gestures at taxis and more time tucking into the kerb so speed demons like him can overtake me.
I was/am so speechlessly angry. getting called out for dick moves one thing. getting called out for doing the right thing, by another cyclist doing the wrong thing is another matter entirely.
