Almost got knocked down by a Boris Bike milk float with trailer whilst cycling up Great Eastern St this evening. The van was stationary at lights, but positioned so I couldn't filter up the middle. Then as the lights changed (with me directly to the left of the cab) the van pulled off and swerved left, forcing me towards the kerb and had I not nimbly evaded, would have taken me out with the trailer. As it was it clipped my shoulder and calf. Cyclist behind thought I was going to get taken out completely.
