You wait ages for an altercation with a London bus, and then...
Super close pass on Kennington Park Road. I yelled out, he stopped because he thought he'd hit me (which says something about how close he was), I emerged from his left and stopped across his nose to demonstrate with my hands how close he'd got.
This guy, to be fair to him, held up his hands - so although the initial offence felt worse/more dangerous I wasn't inclined to escalate it.
I don't think I've changed my riding style, but it feels like I'm getting into more trouble in recent weeks. Random fluctuation, weird seasonality, or something else?
