Yesterday evening - cunt in a white merc decides to stick himself behind me in a box junction in Holborn. Guy starts beeping continuously, gesticulating wildly as if I have room to move forward - there's a bus directly in front, as well as another cyclist and a motorbike side by side, and a car wedged in on the left hand side trying to get out of the bus lane. Bloke continues bipping impatiently, by this point I'm getting a mite annoyed so give him the finger.
Then, as the lights go green for the cars on the other side of the junction, he just starts edging directly into me, pushing me sideways. Even after banging on his bonnet, he just kept creeping forward, pushing into my leg and chainset. Had to jump awkwardly sideways and lean against the car to my left to get clear.
At this point, traffic starts to move, and he clearly isn't going to pull over and exchange details as he's already tailgating the cars in front. Couldn't get the number plate due to the amount of traffic, but, unfortunately, I think his wing mirror may have been damaged in the incident.
