Back from a lovely relaxing week in the Lakes, feeling pretty great in the nice weather. Made it all the way to the City before a taxi driver tried to muscle me off the road as I was turning right onto the main carriageway on Upper Thames Street (i.e. he half-overtook me as we were both turning right).
I don't use the cycle lane there, because after about 200m I turn right onto Cousin Lane, and joining the traffic means I don't have to turn across it later.
"I'm driving here, you think I care where you want to go?"
Charming. Made a big deal of indicating and turning right later on to emphasise why I'd taken the lane, and gave him the finger for good measure.
It's good to be back/10
