Surprisingly eventful lunchtime commute.
Watched a taxi driver roll into 2 consecutive ASLs after the light had been red for several seconds - tapped on his window to call him out on it.
Me: "That's two times in a row you've stopped in the bike box."
Him: "It's not that important, is it?"
Me: "It is that important - those are there for my safety. "
Him: "OK, OK. Fair play."
Me: "Cheers mate"
The smart money says he did it again at the next lights he got to.
Also, rolling serenely through Myatt's Fields I encountered an extraordinarily angry fellow rider. I saw him coming towards me, so I moved over to the left of the path, but he decided to mirror me and we ended up nose-to-nose. I greeted him quizzically, he swore at me and rode off. Is there some convention in parks to ride on the right that I'm not aware of?
