I got cut up on Camberwell New Road today by an idiot wannabe racer-boy wearing headphones.
He didn't look behind him as he pulled out in front of me, or for a mile or so after, and did that annoying, selfish thing of suddenly slowing down for lights massively too early so as to avoid having to unclip. So I nearly went in to the back of him, not that he noticed.
I couldn't get his attention as his music was clearly too loud and he was too busy watching his feet (or speedometer, or something) nor could I get around him safely due to the heavy traffic.
Don't let me get started on the sponsored 2012 London Nodderthon which took place today - I will just say though that I saw some dangerous red light jumping, flagrant pavement riding, shoddy indicating and dozens of ill-fitting bikes.
