This fucking guy standing in the middle of the road meant I came off my bike this morning.
Crossing Bishopsgate from Bevis Marks to London Wall - so many vehicles wanting to turn south onto Bishopsgate rush and cut up traffic with priority mean you really have to pay attention and I had the green light and I had checked for peds crossing on a red man but somehow missed this fucker and only stopped two feet short of him and went over my handlebars to his left. He was all 'Sorry, I didn't move! I didn't move!' I KNOW, YOU'RE STANDING STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON A RED MOTHERFUCKER
People cross on the red man all the time so I didn't have a go at him, but I was/am fucking furious about being forced to cycle in the middle of three lanes of traffic hoping I don't get cut up by a lorry while I have right of way across a junction with 5 lanes of traffic in zone fucking 1. My eyes can only see so much and they must have missed this shitty prickcunt in his TM Lewin Black City Overcoat for Fuckwads who don't give a shit about whether or not people are OK but just alleviate themselves from responsibility at the first opportunity.
I hope you take on a crushingly huge mortgage in Wandsworth and then get the fucking sack and are then forced to move back home to work in a call centre in Swindon while you find your feet again.
