Man pulls into the bus lane rapidly and without indicating to overtake car that has stopped to turn off in front, forcing me to slow down to avoid him. As I’m filtering towards the lights he leans out of his window and informs me I was going over the speed limit. Pretty perplexing seeing as we were all going at a similar speed before his manoeuvres.
Shortly after. I’m in the centre of a lane heading towards some red lights and a van in the lane to the right of me gradually seems to be slowly drifting into my lane. I shout at him to watch it and as we get to the lights he hops out his van asking why I’m giving it the big bollocks. Tells me ‘this is Brixton’ and I better watch out (we were actually in camberwell where I’ve lived my whole life). Anyway as he hopped out of his van, I hopped off my bike in case he tried to push me off or something. After going on about how I’d better watch myself in the back streets of Brixton etc he hopped back in. Irate fellow. Totally unnecessary as he just needed to stay in his lane and not endanger me with his shit driving. / rant over!
Had two negative interactions yesterday.
