Another lovely commute in this morning. A little chilly but didn't take long to warm up. And it's sooooo much more enjoyable without all the school run traffic.
Was heading through Lewisham, past
@jonny jeez 's confused junction, there was a bus in front of me, so let it go. Earlier I was overtaken a couple of times by a young lad on a knobbly mountain bike, jumping lights etc. He the decided to cross in front of me and undertake the bus at the 'long' pinch point after the bridge. It was never going to end well. He undertook the bus but the bus accelerated. MTB lad had no where to go except to try hop up onto the kerb. (lucky no railings) Except he didn't manage it, rather then a hop it was more of a throw yourself on to the pavement and the ride into/hit a pavement bin. Ouch.
He looked at me very sheepishly when I cycled by..me saying 'Oooops'....
Glad he was ok though. Could have been very nasty if there were railings.
