I do understand that what I did wasn't wise, but wisdom would have been wasted here, I just can't stand it when people behave like that.
A few years ago I was almost knocked off by a young lad in a car full of his mates who pulled out in front of me. I skidded to a stop alongside them, narrowly avoiding a nasty accident. Instead of an apology I got a load abusive verbal, especially from the driver, who drove about 10 feet before he had to stop at a red light.
I rode around his car so I was facing him as he leant out the window giving me a whole load more verbal and just belted him, they all got out and ran after me for about 200 yards before running out of steam.
I only worry that they think that because I was on a bike all cyclists should be on the receiving end of their retribution.
