So saw someone do this on the Embankment in London on yesterdays ride home.
Seriously though i was about to witness a death!
Just so he could stop at the red light 15 seconds quicker than the other guy.
Scary that someone out there thinks that this an acceptable way to ride a bike.

 
Deliberate, I think. Look how he shifts weight.

Why's he shifting in the saddle like that? He pushes he left shoulder into the other rider. Dumbass move.

Disgusting behaviour from the rider overtaking. But I reckon he shifted weight so if he clipped the other rider he wouldn't loose balance but completely at the expense of the other riders safetly.

Impossible to say. I suspect he had his eye on the cyclist on the right and misjudged the closing speed
Should have used his bloody brakes then, planted his own bike into the kerb or chanced a swerve into the lane to the right. That lane isn't wide enough to put others at risk with an in-lane overtake.
