Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

I feel a little bit ashamed of berating a lady so much that she chose to ride a different route home to avoid me, but she almost killed me and refused to believe she was in the wrong. I was filtering on the outside of traffic, she was on the inside. She decided to go between cars to go on the ...

...else on her other route home but don't worry if you get yourself killed, it won't be a big loss.

If you've taken the responsibility to look out, then, for your own sakes take the responsibility to shout your presence to the idiot.

Also, filtering is like running the gauntlet at the best of times, best not to risk if it's busy

Not being rude but the only reason you'd be filtering exactly because it is busy, no?

There was a cab driver today who gave me (and other cyclists) loads of room, drove at a considerate pace when he was using the same lane as us, stopped in good time in front of all ASLs, and didn't cut anybody up or do anything at all to indicate that he was a fucking maniac.

I kind of wanted to go and knock on his window and thank him for being genuinely considerate but I didn't want him to think I was being sarcastic.

I went around the "laguna seca" section coming off Lambeth bridge going Sarf the other day, with a cab parallel to me, perfect road positioning from the cabblie allowed us both to go through the reverse S bend at speed.

I was tempted to thank him, but he buggered off.

If you really want to increase road peace then thank them. Surely it shouldn't just be for the purpose of dishing out a berating that we communicate to others? People love being thanked. To be thanked from a group so despised by the masses would be a great thing imho.
