TF08RUM pretend the cyclist isn’t there
Birmingham, United Kingdom
6 Oct, 2025 - 1 month ago - on Kingsbury Road I wanted to go straight on at the island and not take the left slip lane so I positioned myself in the centre of the lane to make it obvious to other road users. The driver wanted to be where I was so just forced me out of the lane. i appreciated the driver following me holding back to keep me safe and then asking me if I was OK. There are some decent drivers out there who see cyclists as fellow human beings instead of an inconvenience to be dangerously bullied.
