Went over the bonnet of a Merc this morning at Lordship Lane: Round Way roundabout. He entered the roundabout in front of me from my left at speed while I was taking care of what was coming from my right – said afterwards he was late for work and in a hurry and didn’t see me but that it was my fault for going too fast on a bicycle. Suspected cracked rib. Bit sore. I swore a lot but didn’t hit him. Front wheel f*cked.
Hey ho – it’s my choice to join the fray on a bike amongst the f*ckwits in cars.
Sounds shit! Just to add to everyone else's comments that it's a 20mph zone round there, so if he was late for work there's a chance he could have been speeding too. Impossible to prove mind...
