Hi -
This morning there was some fairly unpleasant aggressive driving at the Tower Bridge junction at around 7:50ish. A cyclist was beeped by some chap in a black sports car at the junction, responded with some words and hand waving. I didn't really see anyone at fault - but nevertheless the sports car driver decided to rev his engine unpleasantly and then proceeded to drive at the cyclist to squeeze him off the road. Unfortunately I was turning off at the time but made a mental note - if the cyclist is on this forum are they ok? And should they need any assistance to let me know.
All a bit nasty really and a bit of a reminder that cycling can sometimes be a dangerous past-time even if you are watching what you are doing.

My point was twofold ... 1) surprise at the event 2) on the off chance they happened to be reading here then were they ok ?
To top it all off the ride home tonight was positively filthy in the driving rain and wind. A day of cycling I'll remember for all the wrong reasons.
I'm in central Cardiff, Rush hour here is a nightmare.
I feel for you.
All the best
Let's be careful out there.
