Half of the month my commute is from Holloway to North Acton, yesterday morning around 8 I was heading up Hampstead road in the bus lane when an HGV begins to pass but then matches my speed so I start to slow down so I can drop behind it, but just as I get to Cardington street the HGV decides to do a sharp left turn then indicate. Luckily I was by the kerb drop and swerved onto the pavement but that's the scariest fucking thing that's ever happened to me whilst cycling in London. I was so happy when I got to Paddington and could get off the road and onto the canal.
