Some of the rider behaviour in Richmond Park (which I assume this is about) is genuinely fucking awful.
Since the cars have been banned from various sections of the park it has just amplified the problems between cyclists and pedestrians.
I'm quite happy with group riding but I've been overtaken by pace-lines with very little clearance, literally under an inch between ends of handlebars. Any attempt at "Oi, give more space" is often met with a "fuck off" or similar. I now perform the "pre-wobble" that I reserve for cars I think are approaching too closely.
