So I'm proceeding straight over a junction from a side street to another side street across a main road. There's generally a lot of traffic on the main road, so I slow to make sure the way is clear, I note a guy on a brompton (in full flouro avenger mode) pull up on my right hand side (I'm not hugging the gutter, but taking the lane) as I've slowed. I proceed to cross the junction and the flipping idiot tries to left-hook me, bringing us both to a stop on a busy road. He then has the audacity to say to me, "you weren't indicating, I didn't know which way you were going"... FFS.
Edit: This was after a gang of teens/young adults tried to chase me down in hyde park because I had the audacity to shout out to stop one of them plowing right into my side as they were weaving all over the path.
