Crash/accident this morning. I was in a bike lane, coming up the inside of a double-decker bus. I was going about 14mph and paying attention. The bus driver waves a white van across its path. I see the van and break sharply. I get badly rear-ended by the cyclist behind and get thrown forwads onto the road in front of the van (which fortunately has stopped). I'm fine, bike fine. Rear ender cyclist complaining of a pulled muscle in his shoulder. Lesson 1 - he shouldn't have been cycling hard / slip-streaming where there is limited visibility of traffic movements. Lesson 2 - I should have yelled "breaking" to cyclists behind. Any views?
