Riding along on the enormous bike (which features a pair of enormous bright orange panniers so I really couldn't be any less invisible) when I'm overtaken by a blue Vauxhall Vectra (Cavalier - you can change the name but you can't change their attitude). She's indicating left as she passes me and, surprise surprise, begins a turn which would have had her pulling into a car park - a bit too close for comfort but she would have cleared me. But rather than proceed she stops at an angle in the road, mid manouvre, leaving a foot between her car and the kerb. So I pull to a halt. And then she turns around and looks at me.
WTF?
A moment passes. . . . . 'What are you doing?' I shout. And she starts mouthing something which I cannot hear. After a bit more shouting from me, mainly sweary words telling her to get out of my way she gets out of the car and tells me that I shouldn't have been riding up the inside of her car....
OMG!
At which point some random woman who has until this point been sitting in a car on the other side of the road wanders up and waves her Police ID around. She takes the woman aside and her colleague is left with me. Turns out she's a cyclist, advises me that she'll have a stiff word with the woman and sends me on my way with a cheery wave.
LOL.
