I'll tell you, it's so that when the idiot in the black mini stuck in traffic on hampstead road (link below, I was just coming up to the end of the bus lane) decides to cut into your lane without looking or indicating, while your front wheel is parallel with their back wheel, you have enough space to swerve and accelerate away.
I (obviously) didn't measure how close I came to hitting his nearside wing and being splayed onto tarmac at a fair rate, at a guess it looked about 3 to 6 inches - I'd not yet started the second syllable of 'Jesus' by the time I came level with the passengers open window, I think I might have made his girlfriend go deaf with my terrified blasphemy, so sorry for my short and very loud scream girlfriend of idiot - you looked almost as scared as I felt.
Next time, however, please be in a slightly less embarrassing car to be scared of.
Still the homeward journey will be nice - empty roads and sun rises are nice for cycling.

And thanks for letting me vent!
