Yesterday a hamster-wheeling foldable rider went absolutely piling past me down a separated cycle lane; all dressed for 'urban cycling warfare'. Pedestrian nearly stepped into the lane in front of this guy but leapt back in time. Totally honest mistake and no harm done. But cycling-warrior decides to launch abuse at the pedestrian as he went past. I actually felt so bad I apologised to the pedestrian as I passed him. "Warrior" then decides to overtake all of the bikes on the cycle lane by cutting straight into lanes of traffic only to get stuck in a rather dodgy position behind a huge, turning lorry blocking the entire lane. The cyclists on the lane just pedalled past him calmly and left him muttering at the lorry.
Really wanted to suggest to him that just calming himself down would really help, but guess it'd not be too welcome.
