Seems to me he just lost his head...and you almost lost your in the process.

It wasn't a race, it was just a group ride that some people take too seriously. I've been filming all my rides lately. I don't like to mix it up in the sprint because it's usually sketchy, but the pack position that I had is usually pretty safe. I don't blame the guy going back, I blame the people sprinting from the middle of the pack and crossing the centerline. I did go over the centerline right at the end because the guy in green moved over on me, and he was also the one that should have seen the slow rider approaching.
