Dickhead on a bike on the path comes zooming round the corner and cycles across the pedestrian crossing. I screech to a halt, he starts swearing at me and throwing his arms around telling me I should look!

I'm not BU. You don't cycle, you get off and walk. Wanker.

I don't think cyclists or motorists are in general, twats. Just this particular one. Person on bike, sorry.

"Whilst I acknowledge there are bad cyclists and drivers I do find cyclists one of the biggest hazards on the roads."

Why? Tens of thousands of people are killed or seriously injured on the roads every year. A small proportion of those incidents involves cycling. A smaller proportion involves someone cycling dangerously like in the OP.

I suspect you actually mean inconvenience rather than hazard though. Sadly so many people, drivers, cyclists and pedestrians alike, find it hard to share :(
