Deployed a strategic car punch this morning.
Approaching the narrow Warburton Bridge, Trafford Park southbound. There's a slower cyclist about 10m in front of me. Two cars overtake me, the second is tailgating. The first car catches up with the slow cyclist and the second car starts drifting in due to an oncoming car. Cue carpunch. Luckily approaching car was a narrow Fiat Panda, so he stopped drifting and got away with it.
He didn't stop and didn't even gesticulate. I probably surprised him a bit.
I'd swapped my 580mm EA70 flats for 750mm Salsa Rustler 3 11deg sweep risers last night, so I was in a good mood to occupy road space.
