I honestly don't get the mentality of people who pull in front of other cyclists at lights. Particularly big junctions like Vauxhall Bridge Southbound (my nomination for Most Cunts At A Junction Everyday), where they will have had to pass at least 5 others waiting in the correct place to get to their spot.
The people who do it also seem to be the slowest of all the cyclists, tonight I had an overweight woman on a Brompton and a middle aged MTB rider.
Please, someone tell me why people RLJ in this way. If you want to jump the lights then I'll shout RED at you and shake my head, but it's your fucking life. But why RLJ 10 feet and then slow everyone else down? These people must get overtaken every single set of lights they come to and do this, when will it click that they should just wait?
The cold weather is almost worth it as it's 'thinning out' the nodders a bit.
Just needed to get that out.
