Met with an unofficial member of the 'cycling police' this evening. I was 15m behind what turned out to be a highly irritating girl, when she slowed down to let pedestrian cross the street. She was in the middle of the road and nearly came to a stop. I came from behind and did not have to hit the brakes as much as she did so I cruised very slowly to her inside and passed her (large gap so nothing too close and definitely not at speed). Received a stupid "do not undertake me" comments...Told her she must be joking but she carried on arguing...I get enough BS at work on a daily passive to take anymore on the street so told her to gfy and carry on with her journey home which she did...half a mile later she tried to squeeze on the left of a car who was indicating to turn right, but the driver changed his mind and carried on straight instead, she got annoyed and shouted 'what are you doing?'. I passed her again, on the right this time, telling her that she should have waited behind the car instead of trying to undertake it, just to wind her up. She then followed me to the next traffic lights trying to explain me the 'rules' as she said...argh...
