Sorry about that.
I'm only that angry because I ride FFWD wheels. When I have Zipps I'm much calmer.

I think I saw him wedging himself into the middle of a pack of already waiting cyclists in an ASL somewhere around there either yesterday or the day before. were they red/black ffwwd decals? only bit of the bike I can remember.

Yea that's my commute, there are two guys that ride FFWD's on Walworth/E&C that I regularly see.
One is around 35 maybe? Red /white decals, and is the nicest bloke ever, actually saw him this morning helping someone out with a puncture.
The other one is a bit older and is very macho-roadie-gears-bike things. We always end up racing because he doesn't like to be overtaken by a fixie skidder. Never had any dramas with him though.

Last night overtook a guy (lycra, ffwd deep sections, aero lid, 40-60 male) coming past Old Vic, neither of us were going fast. Did notice that he hopped on my wheel but thought nothing of it. Rolled through the red light near the obelisk to wait by the roundabout as there were no peds around and it saves quite a bit of time and the guy went absolutely ballistic screaming about RLJ and how he was going to catch me.
I waited around to admit that I couldn't justify the RLJ but that I didn't really appreciate his tone and he blasted past shouting "don't f****** overtake me" and proceeded to jump the next red. By this point I was quite tickled so pulled up next to him at e&c roundabout and got an earful including: "don't talk to me, I'm a fucking nutter" and "I get much too aggressive in these situations". He didn't appreciate my calm and genuine offer to talk about what I assume must be an impending divorce ¯_(ツ)_/¯
He disappeared down towards Walworth and I was wondering 1. Is he on here? 2. Anyone come across him before? In 4 years of central London commuting I've never seen someone go off quite like that!
