It is a bl@@dy race...

[nasserblue]

All the way down Acton High Street from Shepherd's bush to Horn Lane, I was ahead of this young lady on some pink hybrid, but I was caught be every single red light and she caught me up. Fair enough, but when I arrive at the junction by the Redback there is two lines of traffic, and a bus and a white van cuddled up together to make sure there was nowhere for a cyclist to filter. So I stop at the back of the traffic and wait. "She" mean while comes along pops up on to the pavement round the waiting traffic, back at to the road the moment the lights change and peddles happily away towards Ealing Broadway....


Grrr.....

Didn't catch her up until the North Circular.

I today, as always, passed riders slower than me and when I wait at traffic lights they always have to get in front. They are either sooo slow at getting away or they start to try and push me into the pavement. Enough was enough and I took a gap and went for it, 32mph thank you. Only to get stuck at the next lights and the same thing happen!

If you jump lights, go on the pavement, etc. then you've automatically lost the race.

This always happens. It drives me nuts, invariably there's a BSO involved on knobbly tyres. Junction of Tower Bridge and Tooley Street is the worst for me, happlily stop in the ASL then all the idiots come along. I've started stopping on the right hand side now but sooner or later someone turning right will get upset at me.

I'm sure that they let you say "bloody race".
