Riding home tonight I was stuck behind a bus at some lights at London Bridge.
I'd unclipped one side and was trying to scoot around a small gap around the back of a bus when a pedestrian crossing the road without warning just grabbed the back of my bike and slung it around out of his way as he crossed the road  I nearly fell over 
Surely thats not acceptable behaviour? I wasn't on a crossing or anything...
Anyone else find pedestrians the worst danger on the road? and should I have decked him? |

He deserved decking, he was deliberately trying to pick a fight.

No, removing the shoe, and hitting him over the head with it heel down

I've said this before but Women really shouldn't be allowed to ride bikes at all

This avatar?
If you know how to turn a woman into that, you will soon make Warren Buffet look a pauper.

I'd have hit them, no hesitation, if somebody grabbed me or my bike I would assume that they were going for me and attack would be the best sort of defence.
