ha, that's just my concentrating face. and there was a lot of twats on the road this morning.
So many. I usually commute on that bit of CS7 and it's full of supermarket MTB idiots and the rest.
This, and all day and not just cyclists. I've been repeatedly and very badly over-taken by various impatient drivers today...
First, while moving fast down Ladbroke Grove - a bloody taxi driver overtook and stopped dead in front of me to take a passenger. Not so much as a wave or thank you for just about managing not to splatter myself on his rear window.
Then, when stopped at the lights on the hateful Old Kent Rd/Albany Rd junction, some twat in a convertible who didn't like me being in front/taking the lane (even though there's no safer way to approach Trafalgar Ave) revved, pulled out, edged forward and with barely an inch between us he sped off when the lights changed, at least until he realised he was in the wrong lane anyway. Idiot.
Then while I was waiting to pull out of my own road safely, some impatient moron pizza delivery man on a scooter rolled forward so much he actually bumped in to the back of me!
Then a bus did a u-turn (wtf!!) right in my path, no warning.
And that's not to mention all the wankers who crept over pretty much every ASL I saw today and laughed in my face when I told them so.
I'd like to comment on the gender of all these people, but I guess that may seem sexist.

tl;dr - lots of shit driving today.
