Re: The joys of cycling

Driving into town last week, cyclist ahead, parked car in front of him, roundabout a couple of hundred yards ahead.
Guessing what he might do I held back. Sure enough without looking behind or signalling he swerved out to the crown of the road, passed the car then swerved back towards the kerb.
Stayed wide to pass him before the roundabout and surprise, surprise, having swerved in after the car he swerved straight back out to the crown of the road just a few feet in front of me. No hand signal, no checking behind.
I almost had him so I gave him a quick beep to point out he'd almost become a car mascot- big V sign, no looking round to see how close death was, just carried on on the crown of the road.
If he'd swerved out a couple of seconds later he'd have gone into the side of me(or under me).
Guess who's fault that would have been!
