Rubbish truck passes close to enclosed velomobile

4 Nov, 2014 - 12 years ago - on Saint James Avenue

While riding an enclosed velomobile in a quite back street, an aggressive rubbish truck speeds up to overtake. As the truck overtakes it swerves to miss a parked car on the other side of the street cutting closely in front of the velomobile and takes the lane that if I had continued to pedal would have occupied and possibly been run over.
