A new one this morning. Overtaking traffic along the whole of Hackney Road, when I get to Old St roundabout a bloke on a bike pulls up next to me and says:
"About your passing on the right..."
to which I slow blink, sigh and turn my head to face the traffic lights
"are you listening?"
"sure, go ahead"
"it's actually very dangerous, because when you pass on the right, you force the cars you're overtaking to cut into the left across cyclists to get out of your way..."
"...it's actually a very selfish act."
"errr.... sure, thanks, have a good day."
