I had first hand experience of a Redwing/Addison Lee coach's attitude towards cyclists this morning heading NW past Oval tube. I was overtaking at a fair speed in the right lane as he was slowly pulling away from the lights (better there than the left side at that junction!) and as I got level with the drivers window he pulled across and sandwiched me into the centre of the road with his front-wing-mounted Addison Lee logo in my face and kept me there as he was about 1cm from my shoulder. I couldn't go across or retreat with him in that position.
He made no attempt to get past or to let me pass across to the inside, instead devoting his full attention to trying to flatten me until we were about halfway around the Oval and I managed to get away. I didn't react as I don't want him to hate cyclists even more but that was scary.
I love the whole AL group.
