Had a must-get-past-the-cyclist moment to on the way home from work today while steaming along the downhill on Lambert St, East Brisbane (before Shafston Institute) and some tosser in a bright orange Ford Focus XR5 overtakes me on the wrong side of the road midway through the S bend, (which i always stick to nearly the middle of the road to avoid this particular stunt happening) then he cuts back into the proper side of the street no more than a metre from my front wheel and brake checks me. Sorely tempted to squirt the entire contents of my bidon through his open window at that point, but i was beyond coherent thought and only would have gotten further enraged and kicked the bejesus out every panel of the car, then thrown the mtb through his windscreen to show my displeasure at nearly being road kill. Had another car/cyclist been travelling the other direction through the s-bend they'd have been wiped out by this moron. Gah! Is there something in the water at the moment?

New strategy. Use the word "buddy" when I am thinking of a vastly different word.
Handy having head mounted cam and 1080p res now with the new camera.

That video would be such a great one to throw to the police - overtaking well across double-lines, bold as brass. He don't deserve no taxi licence!

Must get to queue at Balaclava Rd quickly! Why do they bother?
This roundabout is supposed to be replaced by traffic lights, but I think the project is delayed a fair bit!
I come through there around 4:45pm most days, so it is usually pretty quiet.

Good, lights at that intersection are very long overdue!!!
I emailed Silver Service's enquiries email last week from my work email with a link to the video, and a suggestion that as a company we'd be looking at which cab companies we prefer to use. I got a read receipt but not reply. I'll follow up next week.
