Spotted...

Seething doesn't do you any favours. These days, as I'm riding around some nodding twunt for the umpteenth time, I tell them - politely but firmly - to wait behind me if we both stop at the next set of lights. No explanation is offered unless they request one.

You've got to own the road, and control the bunch. Look at this bloke below. Hinault's the score:

(andyp claims to have spotted this rider during numerous TNRCs)

Fair enough. It irks me though, when i chat to ppl and they say that guys on fixed cant pull away from lights fast enough.

But you are right - ill give it a try. The sneaky bastards head into intersections like theyre going to RLJ but then they dont man up and do it. But then they cant even see the light changing. I think i am going to install some rotating blade on my bike to carve a path through them!
