Riding in the shared bus/cycle/ taxi lane from Bridge of don to Alpine bikes on holborn street
now the scenes set explain why 3 buses tried to crush me by overtaking - getting along side then sticking the indicator on and moving in on me.....
why 2 pedestrians walked out infront of me at the last min resulting in one getting a shoulder barge
why a car still overtook me and turned left before she even over took me.
the buses and the car i anticipated what they were doing but the pedestrians looked at me made eye contact and still walked out infront
but at the same time i can see why some folk get hit - the idiot that rode down from BOD infront of me - rear light almost out with flat battery(he just laughed it off when i informed him of the situation) - weaving in and out of cars riding up the inside and outside - going between buses that were moving lanes all the time - it wasnt any shock when a guy came into the shop shortly after me and said a guy on a bike had been knocked down slightly further down the road.
