How come I missed this thread? Brilliant. Best thread I've seen in ages. Full marks to the 'eagle' HTFUpers and the 'dove' brigade like Will and Oliver. Wickedo.
Welcome to the forum PHer, you have been well-and-truly done by the Pistanator. That, my friend, is a rite of passage. Funny thing is, he was right, wasn't he!? It *was *a piece of piss. I would echo the sentiment that central London drivers seem more used to cycles than suburban and country drivers, in my limited experience of the latter. Here in town we're sort of reaching a critical mass.
I think it seemed pretty funny to a lot of us cos we would ride from BLB via shop 14 to liverpool street in the blink of an eye. London's funny like that, people seem to think everything's really far apart cos they look at the bloody tube map and assume it somehow based on geographic reality.
Well done for noticing that the bin lorry was trying to kill you. They're always doing that shit, but its amazing to me how many nodders seem to be oblivious of this fact.
Have fun.
