Wierd. Sometimes anger explodes inside people and you really don't know why ... I did that to a guy in Brockley a while back, totally overreacted to something he really had no idea had happened. C bomb and everything. #confessionsthread
I've often felt that riding with a partner in traffic often results in more aggression than when I'm solo.
This^. I get very very upset if riding with nipper at the sorts of driver dick-moves I'd probably not really notice if riding alone.

First time through Blackfriars in a while...
Waiting at a red minding my own business when a courier rolls through the other way and mutters something at me, presumably about my lameness in waiting when there was no one crossing. I fail to acknowledge him and then i hear his mutterings turn to rants. I turn round and he's stopped 25 feet away and starts calling me out asking me "what the fuck i'm looking at?". I tell him i have no idea what he's banging on about but if he wants to explain he should come to me. By this point he's going a bit mental and it's getting a bit embarrassing so i roll of into the sunshine (lights changed...). Not a bad effort but with rather awkward safety gap i would class it as "mild peril" rather than actually threatening.
