Riding back east in a hurry, just coming off old st roundabout and some guy on a single speed is doing a rather relaxed job of overtaking another two cyclists just coming up past where the parked mini cabs eat up a bit of road space. As i'm going at a fair lick, I stick all the way to the right of the right hand lane, but the guy just starts drifting right into my line without even checking his shoulder. I shout 'hey hey hey', he stops drifting right, I let slip a 'kinnel, mate' and carry on, then slow up once I hit the traffic on old street. Buddy on the SS - with a carrier bag swinging merrily from the bars, of course - proceeds to try to start a fight, and nearly cycles into the side of a bus while doing so. Sigh.
