Noticed a suspicious looking chap fiddling with tasty looking Spesh just outside Earl's Court st.
On my question "da faq is his business here?" was told that he "was just looking for a tag where the thing was made". Very quickly all this escalated into gestures and fingers. I went to look around for some MP but non was found even at the tiny police station in Kenway rd. Probably too busy protecting peace and order around Chelski stadium. Anyways when I was back in two minutes dude was gone, Spesh was intact, I went home. Will give some pictures to MPs tomorrow morning.
End of story (hopefully)

I'm usually totally OK with people driving their cars like twats. Well, not exactly OK, but I got used to it by now and can foresee where the shit will coming from, but today was a bit too much and I'm genuinely upset...
So I'm commuting home from Regent's park to Finsbury park via Camden, usual stuff. Whilst passing Camden rd. station I'm keeping left and riding along some parked cars and at the point where parking lane ends (funny enough, just next to the transport police st.) dude on nissan micra speeds from right lane into the left one just before my nose. When I say before my nose I mean a meter before my front wheel. Mad skidz and all that later I stop next to his window and ask him "why so much hate" and "why try kill me?", and "why not indicate?". I'm told "to read highway code", "where's my fluoro", "my rear light shouldn't be blinking but should be solid", "I shouldn't be cycling in the middle of the lane anyway and if I had been obeying highway code he wouldn't be in my way anyway, so what's the big deal?". And to make things worst the guy was genuinely polite and even holding up traffic behind him while having this convo with me. So I was left confused, speechless and upset, thinking that I might have actually missed something in the hc regarding cycling, so I mashed home as fast as possible, read everything again and am genuinely upset. Upset that I didn't smash my d-lock into guy's chin.
But come to think of it - drivers actually do expect us to cycle in the gutter and wear fluoro because hc states that we should. Stupid assholes... -

Might have seen this Sannino at Tobacco docks yesterday. Better than some custom motorbikes at the show!
