Just London
I couldnt cycle in london, the thought of being on any roads by car or bike in london fills me with dread
In my experience, most city centre cyclists will encounter things like this now and then. The trick is spotting it and not stubbornly pushing a bad situation just because you're in the right. This I think only comes with experience... I certainly have far less issues now than I did 5 years ago when I started regular commuting.12,000 miles travelled in a central London rush hour will get you into a few issues.
Although I reckon my reading of the road is better now and I could avoid a few of those.
That place is a nightmare at the best of times. I had to dodge two pedestrians there last week who both seemed determined to wander in front of me, one at either end of the "umbrella". A car then turned right across my path further along Argyle Street. Began to wonder if I had my cloaking device switched on as I very rarely have issues these days, even less three within as many minutes!underneath that Heilan'man's Bridge on Argyll Street, it is kind of dark, so maybe he didn't see me.

My thoughts exactly.I think if I had to put up with that I would pack up cycling as it is too much hassle
