Running the gauntlet

The daily commute is starting to feel like there are people out to get me.

I had to go over to Brockley this morning to collect some paperwork from my boss. Some woman pulled out of a side street almost taking me clean off my bike and just drove off. Chased after her but she didn’t understand why I was quite so shaken up. “Why are you going mental?” – “errr because you almost killed me!”

Then on the ride over Waterloo Bridge there was an ambulance and police car attending to a guy who had been hit by a bus. His front wheel was pretty screwed but he looks like he had a lucky escape! It sent a chill down my spine for the rest of the ride in as I was almost knocked off there by an idiot bus driver a few weeks ago. This bit below is so dangerous as the buses come up the hill then swing in for the bus stop without looking.

Not to mention the three people who seemed to want to throw themselves under my wheels stepping out in front. Anyway, for once I’m glad to be at my desk! Bring on the cooler weather.
