Late and mildly hungover, weather nice though.
Was cycling up to one of those central reservation bits for pedestrians to cross to the middle of the road, there's never enough space for a car and a bike, but I hear the car behind me clearly speeding up, so I pull right over, expecting a pass so close it will probably hit me and look over my shoulder to find the car on the other side of the road, overtaking both me and the central bollardy bit. Because slowing down for 8 second would actually have killed him.
