I think I saw her about 45mins ago. Waiting at the lights on Waterloo rd to turn right onto Baylis rd I was on the front right corner of the ASL. A moped came up behind me, into the box. A little naughty, but no harm done right?
I turn back to watch the lights and I hear a woman's voice "oiiiiiii" and a bike wheel appears, just touching my right calf. I look over askance at the brown haired woman and receive such an evil that I quickly turn away. At this point, she turns to the moped, which she is diagonally front of, and growls "get ouuuut of the bike boxxxxxx!".
Lights quickly change and I pull away quickly. She cuts around my right and waits for a bus to pass before accelerating hard through a small gap. I realise what I may have just seen and work quite hard to catch her up along Baylis Road. She was on a blue Trek hybrid and had very assertive road position.
I eased off and she got through the next sets of lights where I was caught on red.
