Ordered the fly12 as well yesterday (£135 on amazon atm) after a twat in an audi buzzed me on a contraflow at about 30mph (20 limit) as he thought I was going the wrong way up the road illegally on my way in.
Of course this invited doom down upon my head for the ride home. came inches from being sideswiped by a transit that pulled out on museum of london roundabout while I was in the process of riding around it and leaving the exit after he was joining. he then chased me up the road beetroot faced and incomprehensible in spite of the fact he was 200% at fault and I was riding as defensively as humanly possible at that point. then had a further 15-20 minor incidents between the city and morden. from people jumping out in front of me, a car veered across 3 lanes and was driving along the wrong side of the road in the cs7 lane by balham to pull alongside his mate in a parked car for a chat in spite of me clearly riding straight towards him (i dont think he ever even looked at me).
if i'd had the cameras already I'd legitimately have enough content for a 10 minute youtube video.
