guy on a road bike, nearly taking me out on Tooting high road last night. I said loudly 'Don't ride like a twat' He pulled up next to me and said 'Don't ride like what?' I said 'A Twat' and looked at him expecting a 'fuck you'. He looked at me quizzically and said 'What was wrong with that?' I explained that undertaking me, between a bus, in heavy traffic, at speed, in Tooting, whilst almost clipping the bus and nearly taking me out, was a bit fucking stupid. Then something wierd happened, he said 'Ok fair point, I'm sorry I just got a bit excited' I said we have enough to deal with, without taking each other out on the road, he agreed, apologised again and sped off (still riding like a twat mind, I caught up with him as he was undertaking a massive truck with fuck all room).
