Suddenly a blue Audi pulls into the traffic from a side street on the opposite side of the road to try and get into the stream of traffic I was going - so basically cutting across both directions of traffic, and he was hooting continuously to try and wedge his way in. Of course he managed to pull right in front of me and I came to a skidding stop, almost crashing into him.
Since he hadn't noticed that he'd almost killed me, I decided to point this out to him by banging on his bonet (front of the car) with my open hand and shouted "hey" to get his attention while free wheeling around the front of the stationary car. The driver was a fairly big guy - about 250 pounds - he looked at me once and just exploded - the driver door flew open and this beast came lurching out yelling in anger. It looked like he was ready to kill me with his bare hands.
Survival instinct kicked in and I quickly clipped back into my bike as this madman started giving chase on foot with his car blocking traffic in both directions. I quickly pedalled down the middle of the road through the traffic jam and looked behind me after a few seconds. The guy had stopped running but was shouting something at me and waving his arms angrily.
I continued my commute with adrenaline pumping, laughing hysterically - mostly from relief that I wasn't caught!
