Bit of strange one, noticed a lady and her young child standing at the zebra crossing. I slow down and stop and the lady is looking behind her at her other child, she looks up sees me waiting turns and checks the other child, meanwhile a car has stopped next to me, driver waits about 2 seconds and drives through the crossing. I'm still there standing like a plumb after about 15 seconds and with no communication from the lady I push off and continue only to hear her shout 'bloody cyclist' which causes a couple walking towards the lady to stop and glare at me. Thought about going back and asking why she shouted but I couldn't be arsed. Was very strange. To balance it out an old boy thanked me for stopping and told me to have a lovely bike ride.
