Last sunday, cycling down Hackney Rd, I came up to a red light and snuck inbetween two cars to get in front. I was poised in a bad excuse for a trackstand waiting for the light to go green, when it went orange the cunt behind me drove straight into my back wheel. I quickly recovered and turned around to get a good look at him, he drove up to me with his window open and I said "what the fuck were you thinking?" and he screamed "another time then eh?"
No injury or bike damage, just left me shaking with anger. I read recently about pretty much the same thing happening to someone else with the driver yelling "next time call me if you want to die" or something similar.
I was too surprised and off guard to think about getting his license plate.
