*Rant mode on*
Cycling up Albert Embankment this morning, pretty heavy traffic. Coming up to Lambeth Bridge with the feeder lane to the ASZ just ahead and a motorbike moves left in front of me into the feeder lane to pass the car on his right. He moves right in front of that car, then comes left into the feeder lane again to pass the next car, then he ends up in ASZ. I get in front of him and point out that the feeder lane and the ASZ are meant for cyclists, not him - he nods his head in agreement. I suppose at least he didn't get abusive but that attitude of 'I know, but I don't care' really winds me up.
So, the lights change and a bus coming round the roundabout has decided to roll through the red light regardless and block the traffic coming from Albert Embankment. To avoid being squashed by the bus I have to hold back with all this traffic behind me now breathing down my neck.
Not a great start to a Tuesday.
