I rode into the back of someone about four years ago, one pedestrian made a dash for it across Oxford Street and then all the other lemmings followed despite it being a red. The guy in front of me slammed on but I didn't see in time and went into him. Broke the reflector off his mudguard as well. It was clearly my fault, I was obviously too close and not paying enough attention, but he was really cool about it and wouldn't even let me give him any money towards fixing the mudguard. Hopefully I cycle a bit better now.
Interestingly, just passed a woman riding in the nodder's delight 'magic gear' on Thornhill Road. She was cycling very impressively in primary position. But in the right hand lane of a two way street, with nary a junction in sight. There wasn't actually enough room to pass her on the right so I had to quickly shoot round her left hand side. Once doored, twice shy?
