Traffic on the North-of-the-river half of my commute was crazy on Friday and just as bad this morning. I usually enjoy the wing-mirror slalom but it´s been ticklish. Anyway, grizzled nodder shows up after the Fulham Road junction and, while not fast in the open road, is very competitive at filtering, determined to get to the front, monstering other cyclists and motorbike couriers, cutting people up. So desperate that he does a terrible RLJ at the (ugly, busy, many-laned) West Cromwell Road junction, nearly splatting a suicide ped who was attempting to dash from the NW to SE corner. They yelled at each other. Then the lights changed, the two idiots had to move and, given empty road ahead, every cyclist he´d annoyed on the last few sections left him in the dust. Cheered me up.
