Last Friday (4th) ended up in noddegeddon on way home, folks undercutting, not signalling etc etc, anyway I decide I just take it easy and drop em at a nice clear route. Cross over Pentonville Road going up Penton Street heading towards the Zebra crossing next to TFL cycle hire building/ Taxi place, see a ped waiting to cross so I slow down then stop, then boom not 1,not 2 but 3 nodders clip me,hit and crash into me..one has the cheek to say what you doing? as ped is standing there wide eyed on zebra crossing trying to cross.
Now not only have they crashed into me they then all cycle off across the zebra crossing with ped still trying to cross without a care in the world.. I turn round rather pissed off and ask 'any other of you f**king nodder muppets want to crash into me for obeying the rules of the road?' Though to be fair the other folks behind me on bikes are just gob smacked at what they've just seen.
But I've never encountered such idiots on the road, and they wonder why cyclists get a bad rep!
