I saw it in the photo but assumed (foolishly, clearly) that it was going to resolve in the normal manner for such things. (Not giving anything away here, I hope.)
Argh! For this, handlebar-mounted cattle-prods were will hopefully be invented.
The other hazard in the picture of course is the bloody rain. :-( I've finally got back on the bike after 1 x stomped wheel and weeks of teh ill, and what a day for it... Botley Road was just one long puddle this morning, including one bit which was so flooded that the cars were noticing it and letting the bikes go round it!
The rider we're travelling with appears to be operating a video camera while using the road. That's my guess. ;-)
That variety of cyclist is worse than the ones who use the pavement, but I have a technique for dealing with the latter...you can safely grab their handlebars and bring them quickly to a stop, and they then can't move at all until they've listened to your lecture.
From the still I was about to say "the fucktard standing in the middle of the cycle lane" but no, it's a few levels of fucktardery above that, isn't it. Sigh.
That is an awesome horn you have mounted on the bike, by the way.
