I was feeling reasonably awake this morning so decided to engage with my fellow human being as he drove me from my hotel to the office at Southbank. I commented on how many more cyclists there seemed to be in London these days. He nearly blew a gasket describing all the near misses he had had over the last few weeks with cyclists. During one particular story, he didn’t see the red light that most people would take to mean stop, and drove straight into the path of oncoming vehicles while describing said events with cyclists. I didn’t make any more comments for the rest of the journey and I think he was just a little embarrased by his mistake.
Thankfully nothing hit us and we didn’t hit anyone else. Another exciting day in London.
