I had a bit of a near miss today by a vehicle that was obviously touting for a bit of business.
I was cycling up this rather busy bit of road. It goes up hill slightly and around a bend. It also has a solid concrete wall to one side, so you need to position yourself out a good distance to stop you being crushed if somebody decides to cut a bit too close. There are double white lines on this section of road. Then I get a really close overtake by an Ambulance which wasn't on Blues or Twos. If it was on Blues I would of got out of the way. Pity I didn't get the number, otherwise I would of made a call to the control room and the local NHS trust.
Anyway I had a good first commute (To a volunteer placement) overall today, the only thing is the place I am volunteering at is on the top of a hill, with one bit as steep as 14%. At least it is down hill on the way back
