I usually start my commute at 8.30 but for a change I thought I’d leave a bit earlier…oh dear!
Okay so usually there is the odd ‘incident’ on my way to work but today it was madness. First someone swerved the front of his car out as I was filtering- I narrowly missed the oncoming car. Mad because he was stuck in a traffic jam- he couldn’t go anywhere and there was no right turn, no reason for him to edge out other than spite 
Second a bike filtering behind me in the blind spot suddenly swooped by very close on the inside. Okay I thought this guy was obviously in a hurry and it must have been a mistake… but when I went past him 5 minutes later he did exactly the same thing again then continued to do the same to the bikes up ahead:angry: By now I’m beginning to think its going to be one of those mornings. Saw the aftermath of a nasty looking cycling collision at the junction of Brixton Road and Camberwell New Road and headed up Kennington Road. Noticed a scooter (black X9 I think) riding up my chuff. Jeez he’s close. So move over and let him pass only to see him tailgating the bike in front :crazy: I did have a word with the guy at the traffic lights- but he was a mature rider surely he knows to give the bike in front space? :crazy:
Arrrgggghhhh. Rant over.
Absolute chaos this morning…I feel for you guys who do the 8-9 commute every day. I’m going back to the 8.30-9.30
