technically i was not commuting but this did happen at commuting rush hour and therefore counts…
some guy overtaking on a contraflow cycle lane heading towards me, looking off to the side instead of forwards, suddenly alerted by my shouting of the question ‘what the fuck are you doing?’ then re-entered consciousness and swerved at the last minute, just clipping the end of my bars, sending both of us off. Neither seriously injured but luckily his bike is fucked which will hopefully keep him off the roads for a bit.
Southbound on Lower Road just after Surrey Quays station.
Two-way contraflow cycle lanes are dumb, people are fucking dumb, and I’ll continue to be thankful that I start work whilst most people are brushing their teeth.
