Coming back from the LCC protest ride this evening (after the speeches in Lincoln's Inn Fields) around 7.10, going North up Grey's Inn Rd towards Theobalds, when a taxi overtakes fast and close. Been thinking about deaths on the road, and how someone had buzzed me in Essex at the weekend so I shouted 'Oi'. At the Theobald road lights he pulled over sharply and, despite having customers, jumps out, legs wide apart, face scary and shouts 'Don't you fucking shout at me, son' - I had a little speed so I ducked round him, right, left onto roseberry avenue, hoping he wouldn't be able to follow, wishing I had had the presence of mind to shout 'Do one, you cunt'.
Cyclist behind me had a helmet camera; maybe he is on here and has a little footage so I can check that my shout was justified and that he was quite scary looking?
