Similar one this morning heading onto Lambeth Bridge from the south side. One of those lorry recovery lorries (the massive things), was waiting to enter the bridge from the roundabout.
I'd stopped behind and to the left of it anticipating it swinging left into the cycle lane and some hybrid riding office prick pushed past me. I said 'fuck me, don't do that, are you fucking stupid?' and then it started moving and cutting off the entire cycle lane as he got along side it. He jumped off his bike and mounted the pavement to avoid becoming 2D.
Someone's gonna come a cropper on that bit of road soon though, it seems to catch a lot of cyclists out.

Watched a bloke make a really really bad decision on Southwark Bridge Road this morning.
A HGV was waiting at the lights, which were just about to go green, with its two left wheels in the blue paint of the CS7. I'd stopped - I had no intention of going down there - but Mr. Nodder (under the protection of the magical blue paint) timed it perfectly so that he was alongside the HGV just as it started moving, and the gap began to narrow. Luckily he managed to get out, but it was far far too close.
Managed a 'Fucking hell, be careful mate', but couldn't compose anything more constructive than that.
I really don't want to watch anyone get squished.
