This morning was great. I had a beautiful moment on Southwark Bridge in the cycle filter lane (the curbed off one, it's usually quite good). Anyway, some chick in a business suit, obviously late for work, just jumped out of her (stationary) cab on the bridge and ran out directly about five feet in front of me STRAIGHT onto the cycle lane while staring intently in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION TO TRAFFIC.
What IS it with these fuckers? Wouldn't you look first? I mean, shit, just out of curiosity if nothing else?
It wouldn't have been so bad had I not just got to the hump of the hill and, after beating a bunch of people away from the lights, proceeded to see how fast I could get my new ride. I swear I could see forever. Until this bitch jumped in front of me.
Anyway, I emitted a none-too-eloquent AARRGGGHHHHH noise and she jumped out of the way just in time.
It's a fucking warzone out there.
