• This morning a taxi driver leaned out of his window and grabbed at me as I filtered past on the right. It was on Margery Street going downhill. I stopped and asked him what he was up to and he turned completely purple and started shouting about how I should have been in the cycle lane. I told him it was one way uphill, but he wasn't having it, and we had a brief exchange of opinions. What can you do* with people who are so ignorant that they can't see what way the roads go?

    *shit on his bonnet, obviously

  • Yikes. That's on my route to Bloomsbury and I hate cycling down that hill. If he'd grabbed me while in motion I'd have ended up in his wheel arch.
