Das'd everyone and their mother's on the way home (swiftly followed by nice bike / frame/ whatever). Got blanked. Same as usual. Though there was a girl on Battersea Rise /Clapham common on a lovely old pale blue and chrome frame with unwrapped drops that looked like she should be on here. She just looked at me like I was a nutter though...

that was me, I produced a skid as we stopped for the ped crossing but wasn't quite infront of you enough for you to see.
after you turned off I saw a popo car chase down an rlj'er to ticket him. very amusing
I did see the skid, very nice. Made me feel bad for not doing the same though, but at 30 quid a pop for my tyres, I haven't been obliging any DAS's lately.

Pretty sure it was a Grupetto cap but I may be wrong. Not a forum cap though.

That was indeed me. ..picked up a pair of tyres on my way home. ¡Hola!
There were a couple of pinch points and a closed lane ahead plus a nasty furrow in the tarmac that is slippery when wet. ..was quite happy to sit back and take a tow off that HGV instead of over/undertaking it. Besides, I've got a bad track record for filtering with tyres on my back! :D

I'll give you a toot next time (I was in the white van). Got to say I rarely see such responsible riding down that road.

Riders and drivers alike...Evelyn Street has it all.
I was quite aware of a white van as I was behind the HGV and approaching the little hump bridge...could well have been you.
Give me a shout next time. I can't promise that I respond to honking white vans too politely but even so, at least you'll have an anecdote for this thread if I do kick off...

I was behind you when you stopped at the red traffic lights by the Shell station and from memory a recycling truck was behind me. I held back to make sure the truck didn't try to follow me overtaking you through the islands - some of them seem to be 'on a mission'. I was probably past you before the bridge as was the truck. Despite your sensibly hanging back behind the truck you still got past and disappeared before I turned ino Church Street.

That was you then! I remember a white van and then the recycling truck passing. That truck did seem a bit erratic. I turn off onto Deptford High Street but I always have an all out sprint from the bridge/rise in the road past the shell garage to home. You have the whole bus lane so it is pretty normal to do better than the cars.

Just watch out for me in the section of bus lane before Deptford High Street. I'm one of the few drivers that can both read and tell the time!

speaking of time-limited bus lanes why is it that when a car is allowed in a bus lane most people find it perfectly acceptable to use it for undertaking other vehicles at/over the speed limit?
not saying you are amongst them wvm but I find the most dangerous driving I see on deptford church street is after 7.01pm and performed by complete bellends exerting their
godmunicipal given right to be in a bus lane by flooring it to get two car lengths ahead of the traffic in front of them. -

Morning Tony (yesterday)!

Their is actually a rule on this one- undertaking is illegal if you change lanes to do it, if you are in the lane already and the other lane slows, then it's ok.
This should be updated, with the penalty being changed from "wagging finger" to "crush vehicle" however (first offence).

I was having a lovely morning. Rounce woke me from my commuting slumber at Finners and I was able to chase him down for a chat most of the way to work. There was a significant reduction in the numbers of bellends I usually have to deal with passing through the westend. The sun was shining, the birds were sinning in the trees, then my shoe broke.

Part of the problem here is that a lot of drivers don't realise that bus lanes are time-limited and don't look at the plates indicating the hours of operation. As a result, bus lanes are often clear even when the other lane is congested.
Go on a black felt down the hill from Swiss cottage.
