I know some cyclists do daft things too. You can't account for people. But this QOTW is about cars, and so my post was about the daft things people do/say when they are driving them.

As for your experience...

Maybe he felt differently about the situation to you. Maybe he felt you overtook closely or maybe he was just a loon. But I think it speaks volumes that the reaction you have to an angry cyclist (unjustified though his ranting may be) is to "nudge him off" or give him "a good sound slap."

Ever been "nudged off" a bike by a car? Get your bike and find a mate in a car and try it, but phone the hospital first to let them know you're coming. I cycle to work every day, 10 miles each way five days a week. I see many more car drivers do stupid things than I do cyclists (true, I also see more cars than I see bikes too).

But for me it's further proof of his credentials as a complete cunt.
