Yeah was busy all through Lombard Road and Vicarage Crescent plus that one that goes up to Battersea Park. Or do you mean York Road and whatever cycle highway that is?
Bezzin-
Yep, those are the roads in question. Even when I got onto the superhighway on embankment, a generally proficient seeming cyclists tried his best to fall off in front of me when moving off at the northern Vauxhall Bridge junction. How hard is it to wait until you've definitely clipped in before trying to give it full beans? His foot slipped off the pedal, face nearly chinned his stem, cue mega wobble and evasive action from the commuting peloton. Relieved to reach the office unscathed and ready for this evening's adventure home.

Felt like a crazy morning on my trip just south of the river between Putney and Battersea Park today. Why is it that when the traffic is slightly worse, everyone in a car, van, lorry or on a motorbike seems so much more desperate to have an accident? Every street I rode down seemed to have at least one wince worthy moment. Unnecessarily Stressful.
