2009-04-09 - Rider Down/Fatality, Goswell Rd and Clerkenwell/Old St

I cycled back home along the A202 / A2 from Deptford Bridge towards Vauxhall, and two enormous container lorries were trying to keep up with each other, and they thundered past me and it was horrible.

thats another thing that annoys me. generally its two company white vans in the morning doing the same thing. i always try to split them up at traffic lights by getting between them and then dither for as long as i can when the lights change pretending to not be able to get my toe clip in. in the corner of my eye i can always see the red top newspaper on the dashboard and him hunched over the steering wheel shouting and spitting at the windscreen. they are so dangerous and they dont seem to be aware of any other than trying to sit on their mates bumper.
