On my way out to a club run tonight I was filtering down the outside of traffic heading eastbound on Camden Rd (outside Sainsbury's) and a chap looking the opposite direction steps out from behind a moving bus - who beeped at him so I presume he jumped in front of them too. I shoulder checked him square in the jaw and we both went down. He started to apologise and help me up, before quickly changing his tune and walking away while I was in the road. The damage is nothing major, just a few scrapes and a stiff knee. Mainly pissed about the modifications he made to my bike for me - scratches on the paintwork and a massively scuffed hood.
Oh well. Live and learn. While it was his fault in my eyes, it was avoidable; next time I will go slower and take more notice of my blind spots.
