MikeC has a lot to answer for...

All of this.
Contact TfL for the CCTV - ask for the footage, and ask for their retention policy.

So I'm cycling down to Marble Arch from Maida Vale and some twat in a Lamborghini speeds past me nearly clipping my elbow and throwing me off even though he should be decelerating since the lights are red 50m down the road. As I get to the lights they turn green so I don't get a chance to tell him off (that's if he could hear me over the monstrous sound he was making revving his engine). Then to my surprise he slowed down and the passenger seat window came down. I was impressed that having just realised I exist he probably wanted to apologise... However I couldn't have been more wrong, a hand popped out and threw a plastic bottle straight into my path. This time I was thrown off.
Hunt him down and murder him

Maybe we can use this to our advantage, collect your output and input it into the cunts lambo.

If you can remember the registration number, or even a partial one, then it's worth talking to the rozzers or the cycle task force.
The Cycle Task Force are unlikely to be able to do anything there. It might be worth making a Roadsafe report, as there can't be too many Lambos in London and the style of driving of this particular driver might have been noticed before. While Roadsafe is an information-gathering mechanism in the first instance, they do take action in certain cases. Generally, if no actual crash and/or injury has occurred, don't expect too much action.

Didn't sound like the rozzers would be doing anything useful. Sounded like they thought I was wasting their time since I didn't have a number plate. Tfl took some interest though, gave me a reference number and told me they'd be in touch. Come to think of it I'm lucky to have escaped with a few scratches and nothing more serious. I'd usually be riding much faster on a road like that. Not to mention that being on a bus lane I could have been flattened if I had a bus following me closely.

Reckon there's any cctv around?

Last night coming off old st roundabout on old st going west, car turns left without indicating, I crash (can't remember whether I actually hit their car or just slammed on the front brake too hard), go over handlebars, am fine apart from a couple of cuts and bruises, am late anyway so cycle off and realise my handlebars are sideways and ny lockring has come loose. Fun fun fun.

Looking back at my chainslip moment when accelerating from a trackstand, I have come to the conclusion it wasn't a chainslip (as my tension is fine), but it was actually wheelspin which made me poo my shorts. Is this possible? Has it actually happened to anybody?
It's happened to me but only in the wet or snow.
My best bet is that you had a lockring and cog slip or something in the BB worth checking out.

As it's Box Hill, I imagine your decolletage would will be lost against a background of Mamil moobs.

This happens to me sometimes on gears. Too much weight over the front.

Do you have any skid patches? Happened to me yesterday. Took me and the angry ass driver behind me by complete surprise! No wet, tensioned and lockring toight as a toight toiger. It was the missing rubber that caused the slippage. Accelerating on the bit without any traction.

not so much of an oh-shit moment, but at a weird intersection on kings road i was waiting at a red light on a pedestrian crossing (unbreakable red because of traffic lane merging). in the lane to my right with the oncoming traffic, it was clearly a green man but three cars were there and some pedestrians were not sure if/when to cross because this car kept revving it's engine and lurching forward. eventually it just broke the red light and so did the 2 cars behind it. the pedestrians just seemed confused like an orangutan with a potato battery.
how fucking ironic. -
No skid patches. Me gatorskinz are almost brand new :) so a loose cog/lockring sound about right. Tah tah, beautiful internet people.
Interesting to see how many people have this kinda issue when setting off. Personally, I'm more afraid of what the driver behind me would do/think if I fell than hurting myself tbh. So I can kinda relate to Chak

I can't remember any of the numbers though it was a foreign number plate, probably the son of a rich sheik from Dubai or something. I'll get in touch with the cycle task force though, there's a massive traffic camera just down the road that must have got them.
