I got tagged by a removal lorry on the way to work the other day and knocked on to the pavement. Guy just sailed past far too close to me on a corner (obviously I was protected by the mystical wall of energy that surrounds cycle lanes) and as the back end swung round (as they do - note to truck drivers) it clipped my arm and threw me up the kerb. The driver was either just shit or simply didn't know the size of his vehicle; there's no way he didn't see me - the parts of me that weren't bright fucking orange were in black and white stripes!
Luckily I caught up with him at the lights and gave him the full force of my venting through the open passenger window. Shouting at stupid people may not make the world a better place, but it certainly helps to get your day back on track after they drive their vee-hickles into you.

Luckily I regained composure enough to
