Please report dangerous drivers to the police - Roadsafe. Report to plod, not just whinge here.

So, a cyclist, not a driver, but as dangerous as they get.

At around 9 this morning I was waiting at the lights on the Railton Rd/Coldharbour Lane in front of the red star (I think) pub. Was coming from herne hill going towards Brixton rd.

Was not first at the lights, couple of cyclists ahead of me, and when the light went green headed off at decent speed and picking up more. For those who know the place it's always busy with food delivery vans, market sellers crossing the road etc so not too much space. When I cleared a couple of riders I heard someone coming from behind at speed (rolling on as light turned green I guess) and attempting (closely I'd say) to overtake. I was still picking up speed and he didn't judge this well so when he tried to swerve to his left and in front of me I was almost side by side. At this stage he must have gotten a shock and shouted and pushed me while riding. I freaked out a bit but said nothing and tried to keep balance and line but he shouts again and pushes me harder to the left but I still keep my line and start slowing down as I realise the man won't let go. So next second the man lets go off his bars and grabs my backpack and drags us both on to the tarmac, I kid you not.

I'm obviously in proper fight mode and get up quickly expecting him to have a go. It turns out that Mr Arsehole came off a lot worse than I did with aassive gaping cut on his forehead (maybe other injuries, not sure) and struggles to get up. When he does and I shout at him (crazy, maniac, motherfucker etc at a volume much louder than I ever thought possible) the guy seems to suggest that I nearly took him out and starts shouting too.

One of those moments when you get really close to punching someone straight in the face but I'm glad I kept my cool, was urged by the gathered crowd to leave him alone as he was bleeding badly. The moment I tell him I want his details and he can explain the incident to the cops and turned to check my bike (unhurt too, I only got a couple of scrapes) he was gone.

Full report at Brixton police station and now at A&E because the police said I should.

Oh and thanks to the guy who handed me a note with his name and number and said he witnessed the whole thing and willing to help.

Doubt he'll be found but really wish this guy gets fucked. A few cyclists there at the time, if anyone saw the incident let me know.

Cheers.
