I rarely have incidents, but this week has shaken my out of my complacency:
1) On Wednesday evening, I got told to 'Get off the road you daft c---!' by a passing motorist.
2) On Thursday evening, I was subject to all manner of hand gestures from two teenage girls whilst following a bus.
3) This morning, a private coach got right up my backside and beeped his horn whilst I was passing parked cars.
4) This evening, I got forced into the kerb by a 4x4 who tried to reach the end of a queue before me and failed.
If I'd had a cam, I'd have been tempted to report 2&4 for dangerous driving, whereas the other two were just generally dispiriting. I thought the success of Wiggo might've made people look positively upon cyclists, but I was wrong.
