I think it's the spring. you get a lot of new cyclists both motor and pedal - plus the ones who laid their bikes up for the winter and are now dusting them off for the dry weather and wobbling back out onto the streets. We all need to be extra careful around this time of year. I had some idiot nearly back into me as I was passing because he couldn't get down the gap he'd chosen!
Mind you it's pedestrians too. I saw 2 bikes near the Tower of London helping a hobbling ped to a seat - my guess is that he stepped right off the pavement into one of them and got his foot run over.
