Bit of a funny on the ride home last night.
My work mate and I were on a side street about to cross and pull onto the road, there's a traffic island which you obviously go around. Gap in traffic, we go, then another cyclist appears on the pavement, jumps onto the wrong side of the road and crosses in front of the traffic island to get in front of us.
My mate laughs and says "go on" so we sped up a bit and followed this guy round the corner, being a little mischievous we hung on his back wheel. To be honest we could have easily passed him but there was a lorry turning so we hung back, and he got up out of his saddle and, well, didn't actually go anywhere for all his efforts. We left a reasonable distance between us but he kept looking back, checking where we were. Joking I said I'd get him on the hill, but then all of a sudden he spurted off, straight over the middle of the RAB to go to the right, in front of one car, round the side of another, on the right of a third stationary car and then cut in between the cars in front and took off up the inside of the traffic. Even my mate -who rides like a nutter - was a bit open mouthed at him.
). I opted on a slow circular commute with plenty of bail out points if it did get worse but it didn't
