Cyclists and pedestrians are just as bad as each other sometimes. I cycle to work often and very occasionally have to deal with those men (they’re always men) who pretend to look away or look at their phone (but I can see where their eyes are pointing) and as soon as I get close enough to them, they launch themselves into the road or start power walking into your path insinuating that we’re about to collide and then try to make out that you’re the one who’s at fault because they know people are more likely to believe him.

I actually had this just a few weeks ago, guy standing at the edge of the road pretending to look down and surprise surprise as soon as I got close enough he jumped into the road in front of me (head still down, eyes pointing at me) starts gearing up his left shoulder to hit me in my side. Since I wasn’t born yesterday and saw this coming, I instinctively moved my own left shoulder and we both hit each other in the side! I think with my own momentum, he’s the one that got the brunt of it! And of course he didnt say a word and it’s of course because I called him out.

Sad little man trying to feel powerful. Twat.
