Yesterday, heading south on the A10, just before the canal bridge going into Shoreditch, a hi-viz workman stops traffic so a massive scary cement encrusted HGV can back into a building site. Fair enough. I stop, cars stop, HGV manoeuvres into position, and just before reversing into the site, a bike using person, in wooly hat, puffa jacket and high heels, cycles around me and straight through the gap the HGV is just about to occupy. Happy as larry, oblivious to the potential CRUNCH-SPLAT she's just narrowly avoided. Fucking un-BELIEVABLE.
I swap looks with hi-viz man and he says people like that give us all a bad name. I agree.
