OK, having had a second stupid incident, I am forced to express my dismay at the stupidity of others, who seem to think it’s a joke to try to cause me to have an accident on my electric bike.

The first (few weeks ago) three kids walking along the pavement, who waited until I was almost beside them, screamed, shouted and made as if to run out in front of me. Resulted in me having to violently swerve out into the road, luckily nothing there to run me down.

The second incident (today) cycling along the road with heavy traffic. Some ass-wipe passenger in a Land Rover screamed and shouted "WAHAY, BIKER BOY" just as they passed. The sudden screaming/shouting (almost in my ear) made me jump and caused me to swerve and nearly end up in the ditch.

I am seriously thinking about getting one of those action cameras, then should something happen again and I crash, I would have recorded evidence of what happened and who caused it. However, at £100 each they are not cheap, so it needs some more serious thought.

Apart from the obvious hand signs and signal in response to dickhead drivers, anyone have any tips to deal with these very dangerous ass-wipes?
