The bloke who almost forced the BMX into the back of the first coach then had the favour returned by the BMX rider.

So it proves that not only do we want to be the fastest/first/own the road in a car, it happens on a bike.

Stupid, stupid people.

The BMX was trying to undertake the camera cycle. Now we don't see what happened before then, but undertaking is still a no-no.

Agreed but i'd bet it was 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other.

Quite probably.

Not exactly sure; did BMX guy get too close to the bus & not look properly before pulling out, not expecting some twat with Vincenzo Nibali fantasies to come racing past?

If he was ahead, technically he'd have had right of way.

But generally careless, arrogant riding.

Where's Darwin when you need him?

Except if you are a cyclist going up the inside of a queue of cars of course, whilst ignoring the front car signalling a left turn and screaming and banging on the car when he does turn left.

You won't catch me doing that, I ride my bike as if it were a car and try and stick to the same rules as everybody else.

Just like today when I looked over my shoulder and made eye contact with the driver behind whilst signalling right for a good 2 seconds. As I was about to make my manoeuvre I looked over my shoulder again and a good job it was too as the tw@t came roaring past. I wouldn't be here typing if I hadn't checked my mirrors so to speak.

I could make a lazy generalisation and say that he was probably on his phone.........

You'd probably be right - doing anything but concentrating on what wass going on around him.
