Don't know if it is the heat but I experienced some seriously agro drivers on the way home this afternoon.
Riding up Barnsbury Road N1 doing my usual of overtaking lines of traffic at the lights, using lots of free space not getting in anyones way (not even jumping the lights this time). Then a little further up at the end of barnard park a Merc speeds up right beside me and moves right over into the cycle lane to cut me up. As I'm negotiating the narrowing gap I shout through the window "WTF are you doing" and the fat, red faced man shouts back "THE SAME AS YOU, YOU PRICK!".
Yeah ok mate... when I overtook, you were stationary sitting in your leather seat. I would say carving me up into parked cars while I'm cycling along (in the cycle lane) is actually quite a bit different.
Take care out there people.. watch out for red faced drivers!
