Bike rage Sooner or later most cyclists encounter bike rage, but staying safe isn't always about following the rules of the road Sometimes I think cyclists should never be allowed on the road. Two wheels at 15mph are no match for two tonnes of steel machinery at 30mph or more – especially when driven by an enraged motorist. I haven't yet been threatened by a motorist wanting to chew at my ear, nor been confronted by a gorilla on roller skates, but I have come close. One night in late autumn, at about 9pm, I was heading home, taking my normal route. I had thrashed out my ideal route between work and home, based not only on distance but also quietness and quickness of roads. At one particularly nasty and unavoidable four-lane junction near Oval tube, where the A23 to Brighton meets the A3 to Portsmouth – two of London's most dangerous roads for cyclists – my safety strategy is always to try to stay ahead of the traffic. I took off on green from the lights, and managed to reach about 17mph just after the bend. For the driver behind me, this was still not fast enough, even though the lights ahead were turning red. He beeped his horn at me, expecting me to move into a lane that was already full of traffic whizzing by into Brixton. I held my position and he beeped again. I turned to look at him. He was on his mobile phone. At the lights I tried to explain, without a single expletive, that he might have endangered me by forcing me out of his way and into the path of another vehicle, all while driving on his mobile phone. The Highway Code after all defines cyclists as "other road users requiring extra care".
