yesterday, on my ride into work,

a car overtook me and then immediately turned left right in front of me. Meant I had to slam on my brakes to avoid going straight into him as he cut across me.

Now *he* was a c*nt,

And I can't even count the number of times pedestrians just step into the road in front of me, because they can't hear a car coming, and can't be @rsed to just glance up first. (Usually 'cos they're fannying about on their phones.)

So it's hardly restricted to people on bikes.

Indeed, given the number of times you have to take evasive action to stop someone killing you, it's not surprising that some cyclists get a bit shouty. Better that than dead.
