• Some fucking dickhead this morning, tries to overtake me approaching a red light. There isn't enough room to complete the overtaking manoeuvre - because she's approaching a fucking red light and there's a fucking queue of traffic in the way - and instead of slowing down and backing off she just pulls across into me, forcing me to slam the brakes on. Gave her a proper bollocking as she sat staring straight ahead pretending like she couldn't see me, although maybe she couldn't see me which is why she almost ran me the fuck over.

    Think someone said it recently, but it's these things which drive me the most crazy. Endangering people for absolutely zero fucking gain, just because you see a cyclist and your only compulsion is to get ahead of them regardless of what is on the road in front of you.

  • staring straight ahead pretending like she couldn't see me

    Yeah this is the worst, just highlights how some people feel fucking invincible/safe in cars and have no regard for other road users.

    On a separate, but not that separate note: I had a bus driver stick his middle finger up at me the other day as I passed him (I assume it was because) I had sat in front of him at the previous lights (he had sat his bus across the bike box) so I stopped outside his window at his next stop to ask him what his problem was, to which he decided to just start pulling out of the stop forcing me to move into a busy road or be crushed by him. luckily I had already taken a photo of his plates so reported him, WAC.

  • had a couple of people pass me to stop 50 metres further on and block the road to turn right, forcing me to stop on my way home this evening, and someone close pass me on a left hand bend with a car oncoming, to then take a r/h filter lane about 2 seconds later.

    why the fuck are these douchebags so fucking impatient?

    a 5 second wait from the drivers in all three instances and there wouldn't have been any issues.
