On the way in this morning I was stopped behind a bendy bus just before the Camberwell/Denmark Hill junction.
I could have pulled out to the right and gone around the bus but was not in that much of a hurry so thought I'd wait for 30 seconds.
Chap hurtled down the inside of me on his MTB and into the gap between the bus and the pavement- about a foot wide.
Bus was moving, and as the chap got about half way down the inside of the bus he was forced into a bin as the bus drifted into the pavement due to rounding the slight bend.
He was fine- stayed on the bike, but hopefully he has learnt an important lesson.
