The last two day felt like there's little bikeability can do against the tide of 2 wheeled ignorance. I leave a little space between me and the large vehicle in front of me at the red on Grange Rd leading to Tower Bridge Rd. The vehicle is also at an angle, so the front is closer to the kerb than the rear. Despite the reduced space idiot decides he must get in front of me and now reduce the space I have further because....? Well he couldn't answer. That's the problem none of these people actually think about why they do what they do. It's all auto pilot.
I found myself going out of my way to taking ultra back streets just to not deal with them. Seriously the next one to tell me I'm too far out or to move over in their attempt to undertake will get a fucking mouthful.
