Interestingly it was me, on the cargo bike that held the driver’s attention much more than her on her ‘normal’ bike. Kind of opposite of reports on here of cargo bikes getting more room.
ditto. when I'm on a regular bike I get the 'regular' treatment from car drivers. When I'm blocking up their road with my cargo bike they get REALLY ANGRY. almost every week I'm reporting a close pass where they just can't wait till it's safe... and then there's the filtering thing - on a bike I'm just taking advantage of a narrow space. On my cargo bike I'm trying to push in & they get REALLY ANGRY.

Is this mostly in your North Polar London? I've only ridden cargo bikes in London on a couple of occasions, but I concluded quickly that it's best if you don't filter. Admittedly, when I've ridden a Brox four-wheeler, that wasn't possible, anyway, but with others, too (e.g., an 8Freight), I felt as if the size of my vehicle made filtering feel considerably more rude. Having said that, I was never in any particular hurry, and certainly wouldn't judge people who are doing a job.

Hey, apologies for my vacant look when I saw you on Vicky road the other day.
Topically, I was distracted by a pranny in a bmw that was shouting at me for not having been on the cycle lane at that bit where the cycle lane is virtually unusable.
Mrs M_V has started riding to work to avoid public transport and while I’m still furloughed I’m riding with her.

I think if I was choosing a route into town I’d avoid Vicky rd at least until the cycle lanes are finished as there definitely seems to be an expectation for you to use them, regardless of how difficult/impossible that might be but she hasn’t got the confidence to ride on roads that don’t have cycle lanes (Ie Kilmarnock road) especially since there was that fatality at the junction in the Bungo last year.
