Default Cyclists just will not read or obey the highway code

and immediately start screaming foul language, rather than address the
issue.

I hooted as I approached a zebra crossing so that the two fast moving
cyclists would not attempt to cycle straight off the centre island.
That worked, then the male starting screeching at me. So I stopped,
keeping him and her on the island. I pointed out that it was a
pedestrian crossing, not a cycling crossing, he failed to counter by
saying that there was a cycle path leading to the crossing, I pointed
out again that he should push his bicycle over the crossing and that
there was no cycle path where he was crossing to. By this time he was
screaming foul words at me, regardless of the general population.

I was very good and just drove away, knowing that I had wrecked his
planet saving day..
