Clearly, motorists rage is making life for the cyclist more dangerous.
I can't help thinking that their rage is being exacerbated by the measures designed to keep cyclists safe: segregation reduces road space for the "entitled" and so when there's no segregation, the cyclist is the focus of each moment of their delay and thus of their anger, or simply much more vulnerable to the angry/distracted/delayed/those feeling "deprived" of time or road space -

Make sure the bead of the tire on the side you seat first is central around the rim of the wheel rather than to it's edge. This gives you a tad more slack on the final quarter of the "near" side. I've found tyre levers less effective than bloody strong thumbs...
And when you've done I have a Schwalbe marathon tire onto a Brompton wheel you can do;)

Just got an email from TfL about the Elephant to CP Quiet Way
Comments to Lambeth Council
Odd one as I am reasonably local and I can't work out why they would route cyclists up (or down) narrow/busy Gypsy Hil) rather than the already (wide and) quiet College Rd to CP. Not being as masochistic as some of you, I know what I'd rather go up
Perhaps the feudal landlord that is the Dulwich Estate will have none of it
