I have been caught by Tower Bridge opening twice this week on my way home. Anyone else been caught in this melee?
When the gates reopen it's absolute madness with about 50 cycles all jostling to get away quickly.
The impatience of some people astounds me, I was trapped behind a slower cyclist who in turn was trapped behind a number of others in front. I was quite prepared to freewheel down the hill to the end of the bridge where the road opens out where we can all find our correct place in the speed pecking order. But I was constantly jostled by other cyclists desperate to overtake through gaps that didnt exist.
Not only are they endangering themselves they are endangering fellow cyclist too.
