• Long Lane SE1 about 30 minutes ago heading towards Jamaica Road, angry man on a mountain bike/hybrid thing.

    Initially he was riding along the pavement, then joins the road behind me.

    At the pedestrian crossing half way down two people are waiting to cross I move into primary position and stop he undertakes me and decides to keep going this makes the pedestrians cautious so they stop right on the edge of the pavement/road he stops just about but goes into one finishing up touching his leg with his front wheel.

    The ped essentially asks what are you doing not heated at all, a fair question I would say the chap on the bike tells him he should get out of his way quicker and also fuck off etc.

    I decide to call him out with something along the lines of that was a pedestrian crossing you are giving the rest of us a bad name.

    Angry man decides he wants to discuss it so I just repeat what I said, adding you were in the wrong and should have stopped and said sorry.

    He then asked me if I was 'one of them Olympic cyclists' only cycling because it is the 'lympics'

    I reply that I am not an Olympian, do ride everyday in all weathers and get out on the roadie at the weekends, but I am not sure what this has to do with him riding like a cunt.

    He then rode off muttering to himself.

    I know calling people out is a bit cunty we all make mistakes or have a lapse of judgement it's just a bit rich to then be a cunt to someone (the ped) who has done fuck all wrong. Apologise for making a mistake and go on with your day.
