Idiots encountered: Oh plenty, don't get me started. Why are (gross generalisation coming) bus drivers such w...........rs? The same breed as, white van, postal, taxi, and mincab (especially Addison Lee) drivers. It seems that cyclists are just invisible. In the last few days I have nearly been run into the kerb and crushed by both Addison Lee drivers and the P13 bus and all within a few hundred yards of my front door. What is it with these impatient bastards? Impatience is a common cause of accidents - everyone wanting to get from A-B as quickly as possible, but somewhere along the line we have to remember we are not the only ones using the road and we have to show respect to other road users.
I would have chased after the bus driver but was carrying my shopping on my handlebars so it would not have been wise.
