Heat makes people crazy I swear. Some guy in a rapha neon pink jersey was giving it some mega beanz at every opportunity yesterday evening down the embankment from Vauxhall Bridge to putney. Looked a little ragged and with so many cyclists and a fair bit of traffic, a touch on the irresponsible side - I gave him plenty room.
Anyway, we keep catching him at junctions and as we move off from the lights at parsons green, some guy who appeared to be wearing a woolly hat under his helmet!?, slides in to the left leaving old pink shirt a bit boxed in. He starts having a go, saying he's too close, "let me out" and then the swearing starts. In no time, while they both try and over take a bus, they're trying to slap each other while riding along. I'm just sat behind watching it all unfold. Eventually pink shirt wriggles free and gives a final "get fucked mutherfucker" and rides off leaving what must have been sweatiest commuter in London waving his fist in futile frustration
Each to their own.
