Riding into work this morning I caught up with a lady at the bottom of the Itchen Bridge and followed her through the green light across the cycle lanes there. As we nearly got through to the other side a car swerved into the cycle lane and nearly took out said young lady who managed to swerve herself into the gutter.
I looked at the back of this black hatchback and saw a large, bright yellow sticker on the back window: THINK BIKE!
You absolute scumbag, I thought. Of all the people... I caught up at the lights and told the fella off. He did the classic staring at the steering wheel until the lights went green and moved off. I think my words were "You with that sticker should be ASHAMED that you nearly took a rider out IN a cycle lane!" or similar.
Knowing my, his and her luck it was probably his wife's car. What a plum. Wish I'd had the camera on.
