Not sure whether this goes here or the bad cyclist thread.
Filtering along the outside of traffic, check car behind has left a gap so I can get across to the bus lane, as I start to cut across the van in front has stopped. I hit van with my shoulder (I'm not risking damage to my bike), comically roll around for a bit then pick my bike and phone up to apolosgise to the van driver! Everything's fine, driver asks how I am after telling me 4 times its not his fault. I joke he should be driving something a bit bigger than a huge van so I can see him and we all go on our way.
Thing that has annoyed me is, as I hit the deck 3 or 4 cyclists went around me and not one of them even stopped to ask if I was ok, was 10 yards from a red light so not like it would have halted their progress or anything.
