a single speed wobbler crashed into me from behind this morning (he was on what looked like a rather nice shop 14 bike in a yellowy green)
despite being on flat pedals he proceeded to fall to the ground
i was going to give him a hand back up but he started shouting at me so i thought it best to make a move on - it has made me realise that shouting at every idiot on the road possibly does not endear myself to other road users
so the public are learning but the cyclists are getting worse
I got called a 'Fucking Idiot' by a MTB nodder the other day. Coming up to a red light in the middle(ish) of the lane I slowed up moving into the green cyclist bit and drifted in towards the curb slowly as I passed the stop line... then just out of the corner of my eye I saw a MTBer screaming to a halt almost running into the back of me. I didn't see him at all and did drift into his path, but I kinda don't think I should have to look out for people trying to undertake me at speed to RLJ across a busy junction. There is no doubt I am a fucking idot sometimes but that time I don't really think I was in the wrong, or was I?
