At Bricklayers Arms this morning a cyclist pulled up at the lights a bit to my right. Out of the corner of my eye I sensed something was amiss. Yes, this was his first day of commuting with SPDs and he toppled sideways, bringing down the chap next to me on his Holdsworth. Fortunately there was a big enough gap and that's as far as the domino effect went. Everyone seemed agreeably tolerant about it. I'm not sure I'd have been particularly polite if I had been taken out.
Lovely ride all the same, despite someone with one of those blower things blowing all the horse chestnut blossom at me as I passed the cemetery on Brockley Way.
