Something similar happened with me ages ago at Cullercoats. Bike bombing it up the arse of a car, car stops for pedestrian crossing, cyclist not maintaining a gap big enough for his braking capability relative to his speed

Tailgating traffic is often the only way to bag a Strava segment tho'. Many of us do it when the oppertunity arises, but only a few of us are not stupid enough to do it in built up areas.

Then later on in the evening I had a little play with OBD eleven:

Thought I'd extend my drive a bit just for the fun of it on my run out to the supermarket. Kind of wish I hadn't now, nothing too dramatic but just at one traffic light controlled roundabout junction one young lady in a Fiat 500 nipped in front of me into a very tight space at the last possible moment without warning narrowly missing my front os. She then squeezed into the lane to the left of me which was left turn only just to go straight on :rolleyes: Then the elderly white haired gentleman behind her also not only went straight on from the left turn lane but cut across into my lane with no indication nearly catching my front ns. I gave him a polite burst on the horn just to have him lean out of his window and rather loud and aggressively advise me to "f**k off"! I only wanted to enjoy a relaxing drive in my car and get home with some red onions and asparagus :cry:

Much better today, had a great drive out to Aylesbury to look at some new hifi kit, about an hour each way. No obnoxious drivers and once I got off the M40 the A roads were reasonably quiet, nice views and a decent ride. Good weather too. Not so good on the hifi front though, even though I'd primed my wallet for a bit of a pounding, not a penny spent :sad:

Does it not require additional hardware as well? That would put it over 5 mins...
