Every time I come close to wiping someone out I invariably scream a torrent of abuse whilst foaming at the mouth wagging my head and generally looking totally fucking deranged. This generally gets me an audience of bemused tourist's, spotty French teenagers coming out of the National Portrait gallery or the like.
When I'm fully satisfied that I have turned my molehill into a mountain I peddle of wishing that rather the my uncontrolled torrent of abuse I could have come up with something wittier than "You stupid cunt".
This happens every time & every time in hindsight I wish I could have been eloquent and gentlemanly rather than confrontational. On the few occasions when I have managed to keep my cool, then the rest of the day has been good & I can bathe in the warm glow of smug self satisfaction that in the eyes on non-bike riders so typifies urban cyclists when we're not foaming at the mouth screaming obscenity's.
