That I acted like a dick this morning. Some bell end cut across me at the lights - I was goign straight through on green and he was turning right.
I had to slam on the anchors and swerve left (onto the wronfg side of the road -if that makes sense) to avoid hitting the twat.
it was such a stupid thing for him to do, he had no right of way and totally misread the whole situation. If I were a car I would have hit him (maybe).
Anyway I saw red and chased him - not hard given his pathetically slow pace. He didn't really want to engage in conversation and looked like he was shitting himself. I tried to reassure him I wasn't going to hit him or anything I just wanted to discuss what he did. Anyway he wouldn't and he kept stopping and turning around to avoid me.
Eventually I was about to give up when I tried to clip back in, slipped on the pedal and fell off at about 4mph. Really embarrassing... (and this may be evidence of karma).
Either way I didn't want to scare the guy just explain to him and make him understand how stupid his riding was. In the end I failed to do all these things and cut my elbow.
Arse!
