Just had exactly the same. Two traffic lights on a downhill stretch, I know the sequence so hold the lane riding up to the second red and an estate taxi comes up my offside and starts to barge in, my peripheral vision can see his bonnet, the light is still red, he has nowhere to go, I slow for the red and he's stranded blocking both lanes. So pointless and angry and unnecessary.

It's a story as old as time, drivers desperate to get past you despite the queue of traffic and/or redlight ahead. You always get a deep sense of satisfaction when either they get stuck somewhere silly on the road, or as you sail past them again filtering through t0 the ASZ.

Poor sods stuck in cars probably wonder why cyclists are so desperate to filter through to the ASZ despite barely accelerating beyond 10mph when the lights change.
