Did I cut this guy up?

it looked like he was kinda close behind you when you turned left but then so did he anyway so its not like you had cut across him & caused him to brake. Maybe he was just abit pi55ed at being over taken by a faster rider or having a bad day & blowing off abit ot steam.

I think too much time had elapsed between the incident and you getting up to the guy (who didn't seem bothered at this point) to chat to him.
You should have just let it go IMHO.

He still seemed quite wound up to me.
I wanted to diffuse things and not be sat next to him feeling awkward. I think I did quite well, as he got it off his chest and cooled down. Also as he was on the same route home as me for the next 2 miles, I didn't want any ill feelings should our paths cross again
So I felt I did a good job.

The junction is a bit awkward for bikes. The inside lane is a bus lane and has a separate traffic light to the two other lanes.

You cut him up. You turn over him from his off-side on a bend, cut across his line to end up on his inside around the bend. Or 'left-hooked' him if you prefer.

Quite obviously a left hook. If you had been in a car would you still do the same manouver ?
I didn't left hook him. I was in front of him from 0:43 until I made the turn at 1:00. Prior to turning I shoulder checked twice and signalled that I was turning left at 0:56. His course throughout the video would have been similar to mine anyway, take the middle lane through the traffic light, take the left hand lane, then turn left at the junction. His only difference was he took the cycle lane on the approach to the junction.

If you're sure you know the answer to your own OP, what's the point of this thread?
I posrted the vid, as I wasn't sure why he'd got upset with my cycling.
I was looking for a second opinion and most people think he's a moaner, so I'm happy now.

Were you distracted by all the N+1's in Edinburgh cycles?

Look out for me. Blue Wills Wheels road bike. Say hi if you see me. I've bumped into a couple of other helmet cams in Manchester, but I think I'm the only one posting on here.
Haha. I'd have done a complete stop in the middle of the lane if I'd been looking in the window to perve.

No. You were going at a faster speed and overtook. You then slowed then for the very hot lady on the bike. He's just a little p**sy moaning because his life sucks. Keep on rolling
