"Oh Shit" moments...

Did you go into that tunnel or past that tunnel? I think I know the one you mean. I remember walking past that and having difficulty working out what was happening, as there are a few highly complex junctions there.

Trams are the biggest moving things on urban streets. They are a form of light rail and very much heavier than anything else bar the odd heavy duty transport (which tends to stick to motorways and roads like that). They can stop fairly quickly considering their mass, but if one runs over a cyclist, the cyclist has no chance of survival whatsoever. :(

Just past it, but at a fair clip. There isn't any road in the tunnel, it's just a pick up point for the trams under Piccadilly station for rail links and stuff, so going through it would be madness. You really can't see the trams until they're right outside, and the cycle lane is the first thing they hit (as if I'd use it on that stretch). Really sketchy.

Thanks for increasing my fear of these huge, silent killers Oliver. There melodic hooting haunts my nightmares. I got my back wheel stuck in the rails once and got carried along/skidding on them for a bit. Even though there were no trams about at all, I was convinced I was about to die. 'orrible fucking things.
