Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

assume everyone else is a massive twat who is driving with their eyes shut and will at any moment do the most stupid possible thing.
because of that signal early, get eye contact before moving, still assume they will run me over so make sure to be always watching.

I probably spend a third of my time checking over my shoulder so I know whats around me at all times.

its also why im not really planning to cycle in londons busy areas but looking for something more recreational,** i dont want to get in everyones way or cause problems with my lack of london road riding savvy**.

you don't need any special london savvy. it sounds like you'll be a blessing to all of us that encounter you!

cycling in London is more often than not a joy, honest!

However, if you are a safe and confident rider who can manage to relax and ride with a smile on your face then London is a fantastic place to ride. Just try not to let things wind you up.
