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 Shocked I nearly fell over Confused
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? Confused

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

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.
