The pattern:

-- A car squeezes past you at high speed -- Less than 30 seconds later I pull in front of it as we both stop at a red light.

In fact, a car coming too close and knocking you off your bike is not a common cause of injury. It certainly makes cycling unpleasant though.

40% of non-cyclists in London say the danger of cycling is a significant factor in their decision not to cycle.
