This evening I was riding on a three lane carriageway on the inside lane at the same speed as the traffic about 30 mph, a SUV pulled up close next to me and started honking. I offered my usual salutations, 'Fuck Off Cunt'
The fucker pulled in closer still honking I looked through the window thinking maybe he was a Pinarello enthusiast and it's an angry looking bald man waving a Police ID in my face, for some reason I then said
'I'll ride where I fucking like' at which point he agressively forced me into the side of the road, got out the SUV, still waving the badge and said 'Get in the cycle lane' and actually forcefully pushed me onto the pavement, nearly pushing me over.
He was fucking angry and actually started to front me for some sort of scrap whilst waving the badge. I had no ID on me which I think is at least a night in the cells here, so there wasn't really much I could do.
I blame the MASH film myself.
Mind you I did get away with calling a copper a cunt so there is a bright side.
