Do any other cyclists use the Willowbrook Rd turn off into the Surrey Canal Path? It involves a right turn, crossing the other lane on what is effectively a blind summit. Cyclists have two options, hugging the gutter then moving out into the middle of the road, hoping they're allowed to do so in time, or to take the middle of the lane earlier and hope the cars behind are patient enough to not try to kill you. I tend to the latter. Today someone forced me into the middle of the road between the two lanes, undertook me and then swerved in front of me while braking, forcing me to brake and swerve, coming very close to me. I took this as an attempt to force me off my bike rather than an attempt to physcially hit me which I'm sure he could have done easily. Had aggro at this bit before but nothing this bad.

1. What should I do? I have his number plate. Don't know if there is CCTV there.

2. If anyone else has problems here do they know of efforts to change the junction/add a filter lane or other solutions.


Thanks

    • You what???   Think you Should have gone to woodfalls 😁 
    • Your second point contradicts your first (and previous post)
    • I'm guessing they're busy. I found out just now that the SNT has tracked down the kids who attacked my dog, had strong words with their parents, and the gang has now broken up. I got a lot of detail, which I won't go into here, but it sounds as if they were also quite compassionate towards some of the kids, some of whom may not have had the easiest of lives.  I know that those kids had nothing to do with the attack of the man in August and that they are also aware of the fireworks problem. Sounds like good community policing. 
    • I'd rather go to actual local Safer Neighbourhood Team meetings and see the whites of their eyes.  Ours in Peckham Rye Park ward (maps of areas the ward covers are on the police website; no idea about the new one!) used to be very well attended, but sadly now not so.  The local police of the SNT seem to change far too regularly so they never have a chance to really know the area and the people.  And the last meeting, held at the Tenants Hall of Brenchley Gardens (so right on the edge of the geographical area), was held with one day's notice.  Not good.
