Yesterday (I think) saw a young-ish lady on a boris with the seat too low... think, wavy knees. I'm keeping back a bit around Waterloo, we're both heading south past it down toward E&C. She goes up the inside of a bus that was clearly too close for comfort (for her pace), which had started indicating. Luckily the bus driver saw her as they pulled in, slowed to a stop until she flailed past.
Caught up to her at the lights, and politely said that it wasn't a good idea to go on the inside of buses, especially when they're pulling in to a stop. She agreed, and explained she didn't see, then panicked. I justified my concern by explaining it nearly happened to me once (a half-truth), but that she should take care, and smiled.
I then proceeded to ride like an absolute tool sprinting down past the circus and cutting up taxis and buses on E&C.
