• I'm fine. i just pulled myself out of his way as quick as possible.
    Not sure, at the previous lights he was beeping before they'd gone green and then came past about 10cm from me. These lights I was position infant of him, so he couldn't zap past me and try to knock me off. I turn around and threw my hands in the air and asked what he had been beeping for, so he started shouting and swearing out of his window. Turned around as I couldn't be bothered with an idiot did then as the lights change I hear him revving and then slamming into me, so I get out of his way and phone the police.

    Silly little man.

    It seems to me that this sort of thing is happening a lot more recently or at least reports of it happening.

    Some sort of underlying societal rage fed to the perpetually angry by C'sOTHO like the Daily Mail, Clarkson etc of some mythical crazed cycling menace...?

    I was holding primary for a right hand turn yesterday prior to being aggressively revved at by some asshole in a black hatchback (always a black hatchback for me) then forced kerbward as it seemed apparent I was going to be driven over if I didn't do otherwise then was recklessly overtaken. Then said asshole had to slam on his brakes to make the same right turn I was preparing to make and then got stuck straight into a massive line of stationary traffic. Winner.

    Also (and this probably should be housed in another thread) but why are so many people cycling with no fucking lights?
