I think I'm becoming one of those cyclists

[marting]

Recently I've started commuting a lot more by bike. The more time on the saddle with a place to be seems to make me really intolerant of the terrible driving and chaos of London.

I've yet to become a helmet cam warrior, but I find myself shaking my head and shouting at pedestrians and drivers who seem intent on ruining my day.

This doesn't happen when I'm in the car, but I guess mistakes are much more obvious and painful when on the bike hence noticing them more often.

Anyone else get the rage like me or has everyone found their inner peace? Help me before I become the traffic droid!

The more I ride the more I want to shout at other cyclists in London when I see the stupid way some of them ride....

Had a good one the other day - I was overtaking another cyclist on City Road in Islington, he starts to turn right into a side road just as I'm next to his rear wheel, very nearly taking me out.
"fkING LOOK BEHIND BEFORE TURNING!" soon made him stop.

The best part was that I saw the same guy a week later, he did a life saver check before turning into the same side road

Certainly sounds like they could've done better, but did they not shout "fkING DON'T OVERTAKE PAST JUNCTIONS"?

That was you wasnt it? MTFU and pedal harder up the hill next time.
