• Riding on Lea Bridge Road pavement cycle path towards Hackney earlier this week, I sense a hefty bloke on a hybrid in hi-vis & helmet inches from my back wheel. It is unsafe for me to overtake the two unsteady nodders ahead. So instead of waiting a second or two, this bell-end goes around the outside of the tiny woman in front of me, brushing past her as he did, then almost takes out the other slow guy on a bike. The woman was really shaken up. He cycled off & I chased him. Now bear in mind as a 50 year old woman, he's not that fast if I can catch him on a fixie! I had words and got told to eff off, as he careered across the other side of the road.

    Well done, but to make a completely unrelated point, Nicole Cooke at 50 will probably still be pretty quick. :)
