( rant ) I was riding down Tower Bridge Road last night, when some moron filtered through the stationary traffic without looking, pulling out inches in front of me. Cue emergency braking that nearly threw me over my bars, smashed my leg into the stem (must have missed the old man by mm) and narrowly avoiding wiping out into the side of a car. When I came up alongside him and said 'you could at least apologise' he started talking about how he'll apologise to avoid an argument, but he saw me, I had loads of space, he did nothing wrong. After promptly telling him what I thought about his cycling and attitude, I flipped the bird and rode off. Now, is that kind of apology 'I'll say sorry to avoid an argument, but...' worse that simply no apology at all? I would say yes. ( /rant )
