nutter good weather rider looking for aggro?

[dn38416]

Guy in the way this morning, i pass him - giving a reasonable berth. Then about half a mile down the road he comes up beeping and launches a tirade of abuse for a what was a non-event.

Here's the link to the maneuvre that caused the aggro: https://youtu.be/-BZyp21DK08

It got me worked up, normally i find other riders pretty considerate, and definitely more so than the cyclists. Admittedly the guy did sound a bit unhinged, so maybe a genuine mental case.

Or have i done something dangerous and i should evaluate my riding and am a cunt?

I have no idea what incident you're even referring to.

Carry a bottle of bleach tomorrow.

Best to be sure another rider has seen you before overtaking. On the other hand, he looked like he had no immediate intention of overtaking the taxi, and if he hadn't seen you that's his error. You had the audacity to be better at filtering. Fuck him.

[Hawkeye1250FA]

Well if any event ever came of that situation... (we only have your word for it - you obvs have video capability, so where's the nutcase kicking off vid?)

Then yes he is unhinged and needs to be avoided at all costs 😂

If there's one thing I can't stand on commutes is other bikes they get in my fucking way and are unpredictable especially weekend warriors.

My money is on he was butthurt you overtook him I've had this myself from a stupid old cunt he's lucky I was tripping on kalms or I would of waited for him the next set of lights and took his head.

[WD Forte]

Does he drive a breakdown truck too ?
if so, you are goto10 and I claim my five ponds

That was tame by London standards, normally you get bikes dive bombing you as you go for an obvious gap yourself.

Show us the fite...

[dn38416]

Yeah it was a non-event to me which was why i was shocked by the guy mouthing off. I'll just book it to the guy being a cunt. (The other reason for not showing the potty mouth is cos i was a little bit panicked by it all, like a decent twat.)

I wonder how much of this type of thing is brought on by bullshit vlogs. Like boring fat cunts need to match the drama they see on youtube (which also seem to have a knack for finding hassle on a regular basis). Anyway rant over, cheers guys.

[Dave70]

Well, I'm totally shocked and can barely believe my eyes at what I've just seen in that video.

A stretch of road without craters so deep that you could go fishing in on a rainy day.

As for your overtake. I can see absolutely sod all wrong with it.

Poor obs. He should've shoulder checked to the right in anticipation of you doing that - then he wouldn't have been surprised and got all salty.

I thought it looked like he was deliberately keeping in the car gap to let you go through..

Rip his keys out of the ignition and throw them in the closest drain. Carry on.

The bloke lacks confidence in filtering and/or was fucking dawdling. You went past him. Don't think about it for another minute. I encounter twats like this sometimes, usually kids on L plates who "filter" slower than the surrounding traffic, whilst scraping both feet on the ground. Occasionally it is a flash bastard with a brand new triumph.

You need to evaluate your riding style.
Clips usually make ground speed seem faster than it is/was but in comparison to other traffic, you look a wee bit Too fast for traffic.

You are not giving yourself enough time and space to react if a situation changes.
Pedestrians appear from out of thin air. You will get it if you hit one of them.

(And bleach or battery electrolyte should be carried. )

Fuk Him BTW. (Tits & Garry)

(Btw - 'filter canary' is a trick I learnt from someone on BCF - filter _slightly_ slower than you would normally, sooner or later you'll get someone appear behind you, pull over and let them past, then [assuming they're the right speed for you] stay relatively close to them, they then clear the path for you)
