'Step off the pavement while I passed'
Why should he step off the pavement? The pavement is where pedestrians walk, the ROAD is where cyclists ride. The cyclist was wrong in riding on the pavement and deserved everything he got - and more.
Luckily I don't live in a city where these lycra-clad dimwits threaten my safety.

Wasn't debating that
I'm just saying that if the situation were reversed I'd rather step off the pavement for a second than risk causing someone injury. My own opinion though

However, I think you're arguing from mistaken facts
The pavement had a building to one side, BT boxes, road work signs and lamp posts, etc., to the other. I was closer to the building in a gap of around 6' width, with nowhere to go. It wouldn't have been so bad if he'd tried to avoid me, we maybe could have passed ok. But no, he had to cycle right at me. That was the twattish bit.

The traffic coming towards me had stopped, but not the stuff coming from side junction, hence why I suspect he mounted the pavement to avoid that but not me.

If you'd have been there and actually seen it I'm sure you'd have taken the stance the other cyclists did and supported my action (or at least not have thought it a tad twattish).

I don't think we're disagreeing, we're just not talking about the same situation...
