  • Ah that's a dodgy bit there, only time I've had to chuck the bike down to avoid dying was there. Had a massive removal lorry watch me approach then just turn directly across my path and stop completely perpendicular to the road, halfway into the side road and blocking both lanes. Fucking scary.

    Hope the rider is ok, fingers crossed it looks worse than it is.

  • Very dodgy, due to the wide lane, you're even more invisible if you stay on the cycle lane, as those skid mark I've taken last year seemed to illustrate this isn't a one-off.

    No news in Twitter or anything, seemed to went by unnoticed, I hope this is a sure sign that she's alright.
