I was cycling home this afternoon when I heard a voice behind me. It was a cyclist talking on his mobile phone. He passed me still cycling with one hand holding his phone to his ear and as we approached a junction where it had a stop sign he just went straight out. A woman motorist had to slow down and stop. He seemed oblivious to the situation. I followed him up the road but he was a bit furthur ahead by now. Then I noticed a car with the drivers door open up ahead and the same cyclist was standing astride his bike but positioned across the width of the road and just in front of the car. I don't know what he had done but it had caused the car driver to stop and open his door.
This cyclist looked to be in his late twenties and was kitted out with cycling gear so he wasn't a newbie.
This is just the sort of behaviour that gives other cyclists a bad reputation.
What is the law regarding cyclists using a phone while cycling?
