Presumably the guy in the silver Mondeo I met today didn't like being held up by me taking primary through this pinch point and tried to intimidate me by riding a couple of inches off my rear wheel.
Then he pulls alongside and shouts 'get in the cycle lane' out of his open window. I just look over and he says it again. What cycle lane would that be? It doesn't start until *after* the pinch point!
I wish I could have done something more eloquent than looking him in the eye and saying 'why don't you ****ing make me' but that's what come out
I think he realised that the junction with traffic lights was just up ahead or maybe he just thought he'd better just leave, because he then took off to my shout of 'yeah, thought not', only to get stopped by the lights. I wasn't making an effort to catch him up, couldn't really be arsed with him tbh and the lights changed for him just as I got to his back bumper. He turned right a bit sharpish so I just flicked him the 'V' sign and carried straight on.
Spoiled an otherwise nice ride out. Lots of people on bikes of all kinds out enjoying the sunshine, including a couple of young cyctliss having a private moment down by the bridge over the beck at Hartburn Village, gave them a bit of a shock when I came blasting down the hill
It wasn't Howard and Marina was it??
