A van and I stopped on Hanley Road to let a mother and her kid use the crossing; as I was moving off a guy undertook me at speed with about 20cm between us then immediately chopped in front of me. He was wearing big headphones so I couldn't even yell at him but I was determined to catch up with him at the junction and tell him he was a wanker (I almost always try to avoid confrontation with other cyclists, but this was beyond the pale). Sadly he swung off to the right when I needed to go left and I thought actively following him would move me over from 'righteous indignation' to 'crazy person'.
