Clear disregard to road etiquette by that cyclist on his two wheel murdering machine

Anyway back on topic. Just covered 25 miles on my cycle, got swerved at twice and had 3 cars pull out in front of me, one across me and several pedestrians look right at me then step off into the road right in front of me.
I'm wearing bright green. Easily visible, just cunts all of them. Rest of the traffic is fine.
Certain drivers definitely have it in for cyclists no discussion necessary.

I went down a perfectly straight road with no cars parked or moving anywhere. Overtook a cyclist who was doing cyclist speeds, using the other side of the road to give him a massive berth so as not to accidentally hit him when he decides to swerve a small pothole and crash into my car and hurt himself....
Shook his head?!
Dicks. The lot of them.

I find it bizarre the drivers who give me, as the cyclist, plenty of space. But by sacrificing their own safety and other road users' safety.
By all means give me a wide berth, but not if that means driving head on at other people lol. Just wait behind for a few more seconds and pass when it's safe for everyone. Plonkers.
Had another one the other day where the oncoming driver had to blast his horn at the numpty driving straight at them as they overtook me. Not that the numpty did anything, just carried on at them on their merry way, causing the other drive to essentially go right up to the verge. All while I've got acres of space lol. Bewildering.

Not a single fuck was given that day!
That road is stupidly narrow most of the way along it. Silly twat. Well, BMW. What else would you expect

To be fair it's not often you get silly buggers on that bridge. Very rare indeed actually. As a cyclist it's one of the safest bits of road around that area. Because it's narrow, people can't overtake unless it's clear. I actually frequently get held up on that bridge as a cyclist, because people will overtake then instantly hit the brakes to let traffic through.
The stretch of road between Stanton-By-Bridge and Melbourne is dreadful though. It's that little bit wider and so people will overtake regardless of oncoming traffic and blind corners. Had many a close shave with people either giving me no space or by forcing other drivers to take evasive action. It beggars belief, some of the footage I have. I only go on the road between Melbourne and The Cottage Petrol Station but the amount of near misses I've got on camera is crazy. Thankfully from the Petrol Station to Raynesway it's all cycle path on the old canal.

The truck was in the wrong but why would you ever change lanes without so much as a shoulder check? That's all that was needed to avoid damaging his bike and himself.

I love how they want all private cars banned from central London, when it's invariably just pikies in tipper lorries that are smearing dappy, clueless young women across the kerbs and railings of our shittest city. 
I'd like to know how all these people asking for bans think that the shops will get deliveries and how construction waste will be removed tbh, yes its sad and stuff needs to be done but if people didn't put themselves in unnecessary danger then itd be safer.

not really a cyclist. just a thug.
Twelve bloody months for culpable homicide.
Surely it would be a cheaper and more effective punishment to just air-drop him on any street in Fallujah on the next outward bound Hercules and leave him to his own devices with his shiny new BMX.

He/she gave you loads of room. Risked a head-on collision, but generous to cyclists

Should have performed a swift J-turn and gone back to give him a dose of what that van driver did Jam

Yeah not complaining from my point of view; as you say, I got enough room. I just find this type of driver bemusing, the ones that risk head ons like that instead of waiting patiently for a few seconds.

quite shocking tbh. although ive noticed people on foot generally are very aggressive towards cyclists, perhaps as they cant get places as quick.

Had to overtake 2 cyclists swerving about the other day. Fucking bellends like this deserve no room, so they get none.
