Asshole motorbike rider, Kingsland Road. It's the first time I've ever had an issue with motorbikes, normally they understand cyclists, especially the whole "I did not see you thing".
So anyway, there was a motorbike turning right into a side street, also a car coming from that street turning left. Between them they were deadlocked, neither could turn until the traffic further up moved forward. A cyclist directly in front of me took the gap between them. I was following that rider at a safe distance, but as I went to pass through the gap the motorcyclist decided "fuck it" and tried to cut across me. I slammed on the brakes, he then called me a "bastard" and went on his merry way. Not nice.
