As I seemed to hit EVERY red light on the way in this morning I was particularly narked by the guy on the hybrid who kept RLJ'ing and making me pass him again. I called him on it a couple of times and it could have become bad-tempered but eventually (perhaps it was the sunshine) I sat up and waited for him, started with "I really think you should stop" and explained why, to which he said "fair point" and we parted on fairly good terms. Unexpectedly.

Remains to be seen whether he'll ride differently now of course but I may be less confrontational in future. Maybe.
