I was riding down the Old Kent Road, just about to turn the corner which leads up to New Cross at around ten to eight tonight.
There were cars parked along the side of the road so I was about to pull out into the middle of the two lane road, I looked over my shoulder to check that my way was clear.
A red and white motorbike was coming up behind me at speed, and did not register my presence in any way- he would have clipped my side if I had not braked and moved to the left.
He was stopped at traffic lights further along the road when I pulled up to his left.
I said “could you look next time?”
He said “what!”
I said “you almost hit me”
He said “look at you on your piece of shit!” Whilst we both pulled away.
Then he drove directly at me, cutting across my front as I braked sharply and pulled to the left.
He was very deliberately trying to force me into the pavement or the back of a parked car.
This happened two more times as I tried to get going again- although I will admit I was calling him a cunt by the third time.
He then sped off.
I tried to catch up with him, but my legs vs. a 650cc+ did not make it happen.
Red and white large capacity motorbike, LY07UVR.
Try your local safer neighbourhoods team. Mine are chasing up an e-mailed complaint about the Post Office vans that have decided to race each other back to the depot every night through Wandsworth. They also chased up when I reported some little psychos hanging around in the Estates off Queenstown Road trying to push cyclists off their bikes.
Just Google "safer neighbourhoods" for the borough affected.
