White van make overtaking me, cutting in front of me to go left.
Manfriend nearly gets sideswiped by car turning left in front of him.
[checking mirrors/blindspots/indicating all very difficult]
I had to veer fast not to get hit by car that doesn't give me right of way at T-junction. I saw it coming as the ejit kept pushing out.
Survical recipe: Assume everybody else is legally blind and a moron, cycle defensively but take the road if you have to. They can wait.
And cycle with lights, hi-vis vest and a brake on your fixie cos it's nice for others if they can see you/you don't cycle into them.
Failing that, donate bikes to lfgss in will ;)
