That right is iffy and I don't like it. The junction has one of those two stage right turns for the bike lane doesn't it? ie. Stay left and join the embankment in front of the waiting traffic coming across you and go on their green. You also then get every hero blast past you for taking the pole position they sprinted so hard for. It's a bit cycle infrastructure 100% all in but less death defying.

On the left, turning left, scooter on the right behind sitting in the box, turning left = angry close pass
Left of the filter lane, turning right, same scooter on the right, turning right = predicted residual perceived grievance close pass
Take the short cut, pop out way in front, get the drink out and when scooter arrives gesture as if at the bar 'and where have you been all this time?' = acceptable pass.
He just needed three goes. -
Huge respect to the Cirque du Soleil rider who clipped a kerb near Waterloo, went over the bars onto his feet, bike flipped a couple of times around him, tyre-bounced about three feet in the air to come to rest in the middle of the road. Fucking frightening, or would have been if I hadn't known it was a professional performance. Thumbs up for OK.
Also, thanks Balfes Streatham. Like riding a magic carpet today. -
Record crowd I heard, just to kick those teeth in that bit deeper ;). Sweet reports coming out that both sets of fans are chipping in to smarten up the ground over the summer. I can't begrudge Dulwich anything except being fundamentally Dulwich. League reorganisation has cast us into some sort of black hole by the look of it. Lovely.

I was riding up Cedars Road, Clapham on Friday night when someone in a car decided to undertake another car off the lights up the hill. I felt the heat of their engine on my leg as they passed. I often dismiss close passes but this one has stuck with me. I had had a couple of drinks and I honestly am glad I didn't find out what effect that would have had had my attempted catch succeeded. On the plus side, I did note that they used the indicator flash to thank the other driver when they let them in.

It goes close to that for sure hence the confusion for me. Didn't know about the guy beforehand but it was sympathetic overall. For all his apparent faults I was left feeling he was more inspiration than clown. Ach, it needs a viewing. Entertaining if nothing else and a lovely brief use of Faith No More.

The Disaster Artist left me in a bit of an emotional state. It seems to pull you around effectively; make you feel good, make you feel bad for feeling good, then, well, confused but satisfied. James Franco is superb.

Twice down like Bambi on the back roads and ended up walking the rest to the main roads and taking the most straight route I could after that. Exhausting even at the snails pace.

There were lovely people around to check everyone was OK in each case. -

One liner with added stress of doing it before kettle boiled. Essential tool.
