Ill may put an edited video on YouTube (dont want to put the full thing on as the guy was very nice and I dont want him to get in trouble with his bosses).
Heres what happened:
Sunday afternoon, clear weather, good visibility. Im stationary behind one car at red lights. The lights have been red for some time. Im looking around taking in the sights, stood over the crossbar with left foot on the floor and right foot on the pedal. Next thing I know the bike shoots forward a few inches. I turn around and there is a taxi driver behind and the front bumper is touching my bike wheel.
We had a nice chat about it and the guy was very apologetic. I asked him to take more care next time and we shook hands and that was the end of it.
Only thing is helmet cam doesnt show the impact so Ive just ordered an MD80 for the rear that Im going to modify with a USB charger and attempt to bodge a case to protect from splashes - just in case
