The whole driver/cyclist battle. I am a driver. I understand the frustration of cyclists holding drivers up, especially the selfish weekend full-kit wazzocks who cycle two abreast chatting.
But I'm also a cyclist. I cycle every day to and from the station. Some of the antics I witness are just unbelievable. The impatience of some drivers is terrifying when you're a cyclists.
On my daily cycle I must drive down a side road with plenty of parked cars. This leads me to cycle at the kerb when I can, but moving out to pass parked cars, usually with cars on either side leading to a gap only wide enough for one car to pass, hence a lot of stopping and starting for the drivers.
This morning, as I approached a parked car, I could hear a car behind me rev and accelerate hard, with the intention of beating me to the gap. Knowing I was about to be squeezed out, I moved across (gradually) to ensure they stayed behind me going through the gap. The cheeky sod beeps their horn at me.
Instinctively I turn round and flip them the bird. I was furious, but all I have done is just perpetuate the situation.
It's never going to change.
