Girl with blonde curly hair, skate lid, yellow Ortlieb backpack, baby blue single speed with red stripes, double leather strap toe cages, and white drops. Spotted first undertaking me moving off at a traffic light on Kings Avenue, then pulling out of a gap in stationary traffic without looking right in front of me a little further up the same road while I was overtaking the cars on the right. Then blasting past me through a zebra crossing while peds were walking over it. Then one of those painful "I'm going to overtake this bus that's moving off! If I just accelerate I can do it! I'm definitely faster than a bus! Nnnnnng!" manoeuvres on CS7. Then loads of overtaking slower commuters before pulling back in centimeters from their front wheels without looking. Then jumping a red light onto Elephant and Castle. I have no idea what you did after that as our routes diverged there, but I'm guessing you probably rode like a bellend aaaaaaall the way to work.
Also I saw a taxi driver and a lorry driver having a big out-of-the-cab argument in the middle of the road on Southwark Street. Two of my least favourite drivers! All it needed was a BMW and an Addy Lee cab to turn up and the four of them to start punching fuck out of each other for it to be the perfect morning.
