So my favorite is in a place like Oxford St. and the light is green for me but I am at the end of a queue of cabs/trucks, there is a 30 ft. gap between me and the last vehicle and no car behind. The wave of peds starts to close on me like I am the Egyptian army chasing the Israelites and the red sea is closing down. Trouble is I am going the same speed as the traffic (25mph) and because of the herd mentality ped thinks yea I know the light is green for the cars but the peds around me are going so I will go without looking. Half see me but the others don’t and shite I am yelling and weaving at speed – WTF – they just act like it’s just a bike and nothing will happen!
I would love to have a mirage of a huge lorry coming at them projected from my handlebars and an air horn too.
