this is a worse version of those cyclists who are too slow to get in front of you, clearly irritated by it, and so try to compensate by a) red light jumping b) passing you on whatever side you eventually slow down to turn on

Is there a term or forum word (remove "twat") that is used when another cyclist does everything in his power to get infront of you and to then takes massive risks to stay there?
Not that I know, but every time I'm waiting at the lights and I hear the double beep of somebody's bloody strava device as they arrive and stop, my heart sinks. So many strava-using commuters seem to act that way. Quite a common technique is for them to try and cut across you when the lights change to stop you accelerating. When that fails, if they catch up at the next lights, expect them to find a way to curve around and stop directly in front of you if they can. If they can't, they may just start playing a tiny drum solo, tapping brakes and shifters with their thumbs just to let everybody know that they're there and hyped and srs. A couple of stretches of failing to be fast is usually the trigger for a stupid jump of the next lights.
