This is a non-incident really, I just feel the need to get things off my chest.
Idiot cyclist - me.
Lesson learned - if you pull into a bus stop to let a truck through, you should wait until whatever is following the truck is past before you pull out again.
If there hadn't been another cyclist, it might have been OK.
If there hadn't been a car, it might have been OK.
If there hadn't been a pinch point, it might have been OK.
I don't have a helmet cam, and I just can't remember where the car was when I came back onto the road. But the driver wouldn't have known I was there because I had been hidden by the truck. You could probably criticise her driving, but if I'd waited until car and cyclist had passed there wouldn't have been a problem.
I'm led to think that I did misjudge things by the comment from the other cyclist as he passed: "You'll get yourself killed..."
Oops.
