Finally got one! Riding through the centre of Bristol, on a two lane one way section, the roads drops down a bit and there's a ped crossing which was red. Traffic was heavy and there was a bus and lorry in the left-hand lane. Despite this chap on an MTB proceeds to filter on the left as I watch, slightly dumbfoundedly. Predictably the lights change and he has to slam on his brakes, his rear wheel pops up and he clatters against the barrier, just managing to stay up right. I cruise past him in the right hand lane, feeling smug. Suddely he's there again, I was going at a good pace so I think he was sprinting to beat me. Ped crossing was red, I stopped, he shot over. Lots of mental finger-waging from me.
