Or the daily commute as most of us call it....
2 things this morning. Both in New Cross.
1) female cyclist with Ipod on. Cycled up the inside of a bendy bus at a red light waiting to turn right. Bang in the blind spot. I yelled at her (nicely) that she was in danger. She either didn't hear or chose to ignore me. Bus pulled away. She pulled away and very narrowly avoided being listed on the rider down thread. My girlfriend had a nice chat with her at the next light pointing out either stop in front of the bus or behind it. She was shaken up a bit and conceded. Life saved. I hope.
2) not 300 yards down the road a National Express coach came speeding up behind us gunning his engines and basically tailgating us. He then overtook on a pedestrian crossing and, I would say, intentionally tried to run my girlfriend off the road. He had to stop at the red light at New cross road and Kender street where I took his reg number. He got out the cab and started shouting off at us.. What about I have no idea. Probably roided up on Ginsters pasties. Anyone got the well driven number to hand please?
