• Classic moment on coldharbour lane, cycling with son on road, approaching pedestrian crossing (lights are green) hear vehicle accelerating some distance behind me. I move more central to the road as I don't want them overtaking as we go through the islands. Cue beeping, driving up inches behind me, only to overtake seconds later once we'd gone through the pinch point. Typical face of someone who'd completely snapped, screaming from within their van at me as they went past. Couldn't hear them but all seemed really pointless.

  • I commiserate on the pointlessness.

    e.g. this morning: gliding down City Road past the Angel crossroad, minicab reverses out of car park in front of me, I swerve around him and continue on my way. He leans on his horn and calls me a wanker. Yes, that's right, I am a wanker, it would have been more sensitive of me to have politely ploughed into the car you'd placed in the middle of my path...
