Other day, cycling east down city road at about 20mph, just before the petrol station, a car flies out of petrol station in front of me. I didn't need to brake as I'd judged he'd be out and I could pass him on the left side, keep going, but he does a full speed U turn to go into the road thats a few metres beyond the petrol station exit. Turns straight into me cutting me off.
I swerved into a pavement, hit it, and miraculously mounted the kerb. have no idea how. Must have been the speed I hit it at. I then proceeded to scream many explitives indicating the driver check his mirrors and slow down for a U turn. Felt a bit guilty when I saw that he looked scared. That annoys me so much though.
Anyone else get this bike rage when you're almost hit?!
