Calling myself out here. Not a total disaster but I guess a bit silly.
So I joined the cycle superhighway at Oval from Brixton Road onto Oval. Waited at the lights and as I took off a bike rode ahead of me. Some guy ringing fixed black bike with a white helmet.
He appeared to be keeping the same pace as me so I sat about 4ish feet behind him.
We both turn left from Kennington Park Road onto Kennington road.
I checked my shoulder where the road narrows, before the Balfes workshop. Looked back around and the guy in front is slowing, so que silly emergency endo/stoppie and embarrassing tumble.
The guy was a kind enough to stop and make sure I was ok.
