Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

Even if you were sure it was safe it's not really on to pull out in front of someone.

There is a difference between right in front of them and a good distance away, although when we talked I did say it wasn't a huge distance away. Nothing, at all, different to cyclists joining a road in front of me numerous times on my journey, which is fine with me. I think we can all merge and unmerge pretty safely. The issue was that this guy thought I hadn't bothered to look, which was what upset him I think.

He just said the guy spat over his shoulder not necessarily at him.

Her. :) While it wasn't directly at me, it was close enough and was definitely a 'comment on my riding'. Like I say, we chatted afterwards and it was all double rainbows all the way after that...
