Had my first proper crash since starting commuting 6 months ago. Was coming down a bus lane in streatham (before 7 so cars not allowed in it).
Guy in corsa turns and indicates at same time into bus lane to try and go down the inside of traffic.
I veer to the left hit the rear left of his car hard, then hit the kerb bounce about a bit and just manage to keep the bike upright.
He drives straight off, luckily nice cyclist behind me sees the whole thing. Have the guys reg and a witness, no damage to me or the bike I think (maybe a bruised arm). Currently looking into how I report this heinous crime!
