Crossing last night from Horseferry Road onto Lambeth Bridge. I am on the roundabout and just approaching the turnoff over the bridge. Road bike/full lycra is coming tearing along Abingdon street, down from Westminster, and shows no sign of stopping - hands on hoods, OK, but pedalling like mad (aka maintaining cadence) about 5 metres from the stop line. If I continue, he might well hit me from the left. If I brake, the car on my tail might well hit me from behind (I have been knocked off my bike twice in my life, both times tailgaters failing to brake - bikes have no brake lights, and motorists don't realise you are breaking till it's too late).
Would you trust the cyclist or the motorist?
Let's get some answers before I tell you what I did...
