Riding north over Waterloo Bridge yesterday lunchtime with the second lane coned off (and no white line for the cycle lane as it's been resurfaced) I had a bus right up behind me trying to squeeze past. I politely gestured for him to stay back but he wasn't interested in that so I took primary with him right behind flashing his lights. It was very gusty yesterday and I didn't want him passing so close and creating extra draught. Ignorant moron.
Today exiting Victoria station on foot wheeling my bike I step on to the zebra crossing and the taxi in the rank drives straight on not having any intention of stopping until my wheel catches his front wheel then he stops. I said to him he's supposed to stop and as he drives on he says I'm supposed to be riding - what across the zebra - they just don't know what to say next. These ignorant taxi drivers won't even give way to a rider when wheeling a bike let alone any other manoeuvre. Taxi scum.
