Stockholm Kamikaze

This may look like an innocent bicycle but in the hands of a Stockholm cyclist it becomes a lethal weapon.

I don't dislike many things, but I despise the Stockholm commuter Kamikaze. This is the rider who passes at the worst possible time. It is the worst when you are riding on a path that is just wide enough for two riders to pass each other when going in opposite directions and the Kamikaze darts out from behind the approaching rider into your lane and you have to squeeze your breaks for all you are worth to avoid a head on collision.

The Kamikaze sometimes also tries to pass you from behind and when right beside you realizes s/he has bit off more than s/he can chew and slams on the brakes to avoid the oncoming rider and almost swerves into you in a mad attempt to get back behind you to let the oncoming rider pass.
