• I'm a very occasional poster here but felt compelled to write. I was on a 68 bus heading towards Euston yesterday (27/03/12 at about 09.15h) which pulled an outrageous maneuver on London Road cutting up an experienced looking cyclist. He took photo's at Waterloo, presumably it took him a while to catch back up after realising he was still alive.
    If this is you, I took the reg number too and have tried to complain but the TFL server is down on the complaints section of their website (how convenient). I'll keep trying but if you want to get in touch then please PM me.

    Something has to be done about this. I feel like if I'm going to get killed cycling then it'll most likely be by a bus. I have been intentionally forced into the curb at speed at least twice by London buses.

    hope you;re out there, get in touch.

  • Not recently, but I've had bus drivers get very aggro at me on that road in the past.

    So have a bump.

  • Have you thought of reporting it on Roadsafe London?

  • Good on you, after nearly being killed by a bus driver the other week and pulling him up on it at the lights, most concern I got from a passenger is "stop swearing".

  • thanks Clarion, I'll try this.

  • Gets a bit hairy on Waterloo Bridge at times with (inexperienced?) bus drivers.Some don't realise that they don't have to pass as close as possile when you are in the cycle lane..

    Thanks clarion,looks useful.
