Terrible ride in today..
Cabbie driving down a closed road outside Kingston gate not liking my look of dissapointment and giving me the usual 'you're telling ME what to do, bloody cyclists shtick'
Old c*nt in a jaguar getting angry that i didn't stop to let him turn left even though i was in the bike lane and level with his bonnet when he's started indicating. Incessant rage fuelled horn honking from behind me as i continued
Divvy van driver more interested in his breakfast baguette than the road, letting his van dribble out onto the bike lane as I'm approaching . No idea on earth that he's blocking a bike lane and that just because the cars on the road are sat still doesn't mean he gets to just pull out.
PLUS the usual old rich white woman alone in one of those massive range rovers slams her brakes on so she can turn left without indicating caused me to slam right into her.
Everything fine and at least the weather was nice but JESUS upper richmond road seems to be the playground of some of the worst drivers. You'd think that if you're driving in london at rush hour you'd at least be mildly aware of the possibility of cyclists using the cycle lane, you know, since there are so many of us.
And breathe...
