A new low
Today marks a new low for my cycle ride to work.
Whilst cycling up toward London Bridge, I stopped at the lights just before the tube station. As is normal, some guy on a mountain bike wearing a white climbers’ helmet overtook me and jumped the lights.
A couple of seconds later the lights changed and I set off, quickly catching him up. At this point he cut across one lane and in front of me, almost making contact.
I remonstrated, and he started shouting at me saying I shouldn’t undertake. I don’t even know how to answer that.
Excellent - unfortunately I lost him in traffic (behind me) before I was able to get a picture. I also wanted to ask him if he was new to cycling.
For the first time I actually felt sorry for car drivers - this kind of cyclist just makes everyone hate us, and with good reason.

You might find some use for my handy chart which tells you when all the dimwits will be watching the football so that you can travel around in in a civilised environment.
