• Am I right in thinking this person was a bit of a dick? Riding on Bream's Buildings behind someone, there's a van parked up pointing towards us on the right side of the road and then a van in the process of moving around it also towards us. I didn't fancy squeezing through the decreasing gap so stopped to wait for the van to get through but the person in front went through without slowing. Got through the thin gap and then clipped the backpack of someone who was crossing behind the moving van from right to left. They then started mouthing off at the pedestrian that they should look where they are going and whatever else for a bit whilst cycling off. Excellent drawing below which will place you all in the scene perfectly

  • Clearly the van driver was the cunt in this situation as they should have stopped and waited for the cyclist to pass as the obstruction was on their side of the road- I bet other van driver shouldn’t have stopped there either. If the cyclist was in a car the driver would probably wait but, since he wasn’t, the driver thought he could bully his way through.

  • The stopped driver could well be, was on double yellows and couldn't see any obvious loading or unloading going on so who knows. Should point out that the other van driver was already moving around the stopped van before we had entered the road, so unless they're expected to just wait until the way is completely clear I can't find them at any fault I don't think. They did actually stop in the middle of pulling around when they saw that the cyclist was going to take the thin way through, then continued when I waved them through whilst stopped.
