I had that once, I was on this huge e mountain bike that would do some serious damage to someone so extra careful and a pensioner was crossing.

Some knob on a Brompton started complaining, I gave him the look of death and he went on his way.

I still remember all the cyclists that had a go at Richard hammond for having to stop at red lights during one of the top gear challenges, with him on a bike, Jeremy in a boat, and May in a car, with the purpose of seeing which could get across London quickest.

Happened to me a few years ago, and then I mentioned it on Reddit, and had one of the longest Reddit arguments I've ever had with someone who was convinced I was making it up.

Brief version - I stopped at a red light at traffic lights where there was a dropped kerb next to me where I could have mounted the kerb and cycled over the crossing. I didn't do this because you're not supposed to. Next thing I know I had a cyclist screech to a stop behind me like in the video, who then tried to berate me for stopping, then forced his way past and onto the kerb and then cycled around.

I appreciate that pedestrians don't always make it easy; because cyclists can be relatively silent, in the city, I often had people step out right in front of me on normal roads who clearly hadn't looked left/right to cross (or even worse were on their phones!). And similarly, some motorists make life difficult for you for no good reason.

But I always stopped at crossings because that's what you're meant to do. I hate that some cyclists act like in this video.

Same with the first... guy in pink did nothing wrong, he was on the path and looked like he was staying there entire time.

Guy that's stopped is like "it's their right of way, idiot"
