I got stopped by a traffic officer on a motorbike this morning on Eastway just by the velodrome. Apparently I jumped a red light, although I actually moved onto the bike lane on the pavement and used the shared pedestrian/bike crossing at the Hockey stadium. Mr officer didn't really have a retort and told me that I should be more careful and I was lucky that he was in a good mood and not giving me a ticket...
Later on my commute a dickhead pulled out on me at the Victoria Park village roundabout when it was my right of way. He and his balding spitball cunt of a passenger decided they didn't like being told to be careful by a cyclist and proceeded to hang out of each of their windows shouting back at me and slamming their brakes on to cause an accident. Where are the busy body police when you need them?
Sigh.
