Right with you there. It's a fight to the front to see who's the slowest, wobbliest to get away........ I tend to swerve around them and make my own path, usually finding that the car behind is staring at the backsides of the slowies and not interested in the flyer that cranked to a healthy set off........ The blind red light jumpers surprise me every morning at Dalston Junction, rolling across on a red light as if they were wrapped in anti knock off foam........ mental.....
So true. I was riding the other day and noticed that my bike was making horrible noises over every bump - checked and my front wheel had wriggled loose on one side after tinkering the night before. It was no problem and maybe 30 seconds into my ride - but imagine if id not heard it?! Jesus.
My current hatred is when i've stopped behind a bus or lorry or next to a car and some cunt on a hybrid or create rolls up and tells me to move out of the way so that they can go and wobble into the gap, not have enough strength to pull away from it and get in my fucking way when I ride past them 10 seconds later. I ended up berating some girl yesterday and telling her to learn to ride her bike faster instead of being a dick on essex road on my way to work.
