It's a bit manic, and as much of an adrenaline thrill as cross country mountain biking. You get used to it though (hopefullly not complacent though)
Still, it is like people are out to kill cyclists - dirty great concrete lorry turned left without indicating at the Centre Point junction this morning. Luckily I'd hung back behind him because I didn't trust him.
Then, when I was in the hatched box waiting to turn right outside Barbican station, a taxi driver decided he was more important than me and tried to run me off the road.
