Riding home through headingley (leeds) yesterday eve just past hyde park corner, if you know it, just over took another bike and was powering up a fairly gentle incline, down the cycle lane on the inside of traffic - glanced over my shoulder to see if the other bike was anywhere near to see that he had had to scramble onto the pavement as a silver bmw was undertaking the traffic by squeezing down the cycle lane!!
Couldn't believe it, this makes me sound like a pussy but there were 2 pretty dodgy looking young pikeys in the front and I didn't fancy my chances in spd shoes, so in response slowed down to a super crawl - to which I got a load abuse and threats, and them driving with about a foot of my rear wheel...
I replied by asking them whether they were cfucking idiots, asking what they thought they were doing and whether their adoptive mothers would be proud, but just got more abuse and laughter... I was reaching for my phone to start videoing when they booted it down a side street.
Really though, what are these people thinking? It makes me sick.
