So, pootling home along the weird pave section inbetween St Marys and Paddington basin and the Grand Union, when this guy rides past me super close. Fine. Except he then does the same thing to several peds, and actually clatters in to one, knocking the ped's cig to floor that I can only assume he was going to light. No harm done, but douche-on-a-bike carrys on as if nothing has occured. I ask the ped if he's ok and he is and I say I'll have a word with douche-on-a-bike but when I get closer to him - which I do because he's held up by more peds that he brushes / shoulder barges past - I realise that he's probably not the type to respond to requests for general politenes and civility. Or maybe he is. Truth is, I was too concerned about getting a kicking to bring it up.
Le shame.
