Ok so i walked half my journey home today as i was too fuming to cycling home
Going round old street roundabout as i do everyday, coming from old st, turning right off the roundabout into city road
In the middle lane so i can safely turn right, some idiot stops in the cycle box in the middle of middle and right hand lane, remains in this position round past the first exit to this point
In which he cuts me up to turn left, i have to swerve left a bit, in panic i just wnted to carry on on my journey so tried to right myself back on route to then have my front wheel clipped by the guy behind him also cutting me up then beeping me forcing me to be squashed between two cars in the two lanes at the exit.
just had to get off my bike and sit on the pavement for a bit, a man waiting to cross came and chatted to me for a bit and was nice and gave me his number but both of them had zoomed off before i could do anything other than call the first guy a cunt.
I hate that point because there seems to be no option other than to hope that this situation doesnt happen, the times ive rode in the right hand lane i just get beeped from behind or someone forces up the left of me and stops me turning safely right.
raaaaaaaaa i am fuming
