Cycling up the hill at Upper Road between Canning Town and Plaistow yesterday past the temporary lights (which were green for me)half way up the hill I was confronted by three cars that had deliberately passed the temporary traffic light at red on the other side and drove at me into the pinch point as half the road was closed..Me calling them twats at the time was not really a good career move but there are so many twats out there,period.The good motorists standing at the lights looked a bit bemused.Which made me smile a bit,but I've seen all this before and I'd guess so have they.
I'd already been overtaken by a moped and motorcyclist on the same return commute on the CS 3 just past Shadwell but I have some sort of suspicion that the motorcycle mat have been nicked.On the same finishing time two days earlier it was one moped overtaking me on the same spot while his mate went the wrong way up the one way street on moped #2 with a car coming towards him.
The thing at work now which is getting to me is the anti cyclist bile bullshit (at work) which I generally wont stand from the same old idiots when car drivers are doing no better.
So the driving seems to be pretty crap everywhere.I think some of these stupid people have seen The Fast and the Furious bullshit franchise.
