three incidents in 24 hours...
last night at Clapham Common, driver turning left at the last minute - signalling/turning when I had nowhere to go. Exchange of opinions. Much angry.
later at Clapham South motorbike in the cycle 'box' to my right, beeps angrily because he wants to turn left and I've pushed off. He gives me a look, I give him a cheery 'wanker' sign and bid him'fuck offffff'.
this morning at Clapham South (yes!) an out-of-townie in a Luton van, pulls into the cycle lane because he's lost. I slammed the brakes on, but contact with my front wheel takes me out. I feel really lucky to have a scraped knee, ripped shorts and a busted brake lever. (I caught up with him at the lights by Clapham Common station where he said "oh that was you was it? yeah, I was lost and..." I think I was too shocked to do anything). Annoyed with myself for not getting his reg &c
tl;dr - avoid Clapham
