I had a similar thought about the lady on the blue single speed in the white headphones RLJ-ing all the way from Clapham to E&C this morning.
I go through phases of being bothered by RLJ-ing and similar, and phases of really not being that fussed. I mean, maybe I'm concerned about the cumulative effect behaviour like that has on motorists' perceptions of cyclists, and their subsequent treatment of us. And maybe I'm concerned about the safety aspects of it, and the potential catastrophic consequences if she gets it wrong. But really, if I really think about it, and I'm very very honest with myself I'm probably just a bit jealous she's 'winning' by getting to her destination faster...
