Near miss on Tooley St this morning, coming up to 9am. I was heading West, just before London Bridge station entrance, preoccupied left with whether peds were going to step out or not, when to my right a biggish saloon car runs into the back of one of those baby buggies you can pull behind your bike, wheel against wheel, the buggy wheel coming off a bit worse than the car's. The car stops, the woman on the bike that's pulling the buggy stops. The driver of the car (I'm thinking it's a Merc) gestures that the woman has pulled across him; the woman goes berserk. At this point I have passed the car and can see that the buggy contains two infants, side by side, possibly twins, who are bemused by the whole experience, oblivious to the danger they were just in. The woman carries on screaming. I think about stopping but I realise there's no further danger, just shouting, and I haven't seen who's done what so can't contribute anything as a witness. Scary stuff.
