justmouse and chugit: weird, sounds almost exacly like the shit I got into between Peckham and Vauxhall a few months ago (see thread "Specialised London Lamesters" if you can be arsed, most of it ended up being about my cycle cap). Black cab, middle aged guy (though he was wearing glases - none mentioned here). I was doing nothing wrong at all though looking at your stories may have undertaken him - though as I was in buslane it just didn't count, more a case of me going faster. He swerved into me somewhere around Peckham High St with the intention of ploughing me into the line of parked cars between me and the pavement, no doubt about it at all - my mate was cycling with me and couldn't believe it watching from a few yards back. When I looked at the cabbie in disbelief he was laughing. I went nuts once I saw he had done it deliberately and I chased him all the way to Vauxhall, nice fast roll, catching him at many red lights, rolling up each time and calling him many names and telling him we had his details and he was fucked. Last light before the bridge he picked up a passenger, whom I informed was riding with a cabbie unworthy of his job.
I didn't do anything about it in the end. Maybe I should try and dig the license plate out, see if it matches.
