Not to undermine anyone's testimonials here but in eight years of cycle commuting in London I have found it's not the cabbies' or buses that are the problem but rather pedestrians or other cyclists. Starting about 8 months ago I've given myself an extra 10 minutes for my commute because I'm happy not to fight with all the Summer cyclists who hop onto curbs and undertake. Fuck them. Come mid November I'm very much looking forward to emptyish roads once all the fair weather cyclists figure they'd trade an extra hour on the bus for splattering their CTW designer Bianchi with Winter muck. Rant over!
