so many idiots out this morning.
one curvy lady in full lycra on a spesh road bike exhibited some of the most shocking riding i've seen in a long time. she literally did nothing right.
the sad thing is you could tell she was doing it to keep her speed up and she probably thinks she's superfast on the bike when in fact her attempts to save time on her commute put her in at least 2 serious situations where she could have easily been knocked off (and been totally in the wrong) and at least 4 more where what she did could have caused someone else to have an accident.
then there was the twat on a black fuji single speed with yellow tyres who as me and about 5 other cyclists ahead of him were waiting for a bus to pull away from the lights at clapham common heading up to the highstreet squeezed through a non existant gap between me and a van a half foot to my right in the next lane, then undertook the cyclist in front and cut up another to pull around the bus and straight in front of the car next to him. the stupid cunt managed to save himself no time at all because not long after he came past me again as apparently i'd overtaken him without realising.
I was tempted to call both of them out but to be honest it was too nice a day to be getting into arguments.
