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

    • We are seeing the visible return of the Old Boy Network which Johnson and Cameron before him are part of, they looked after the OBN's interests and were in turn protected by it despite their incompetence. And Farage. Those who are not a part of it e.g. Starmer and Reeves, even Truss (deservedly so) are thrown to the dogs. We've been so caught up with race and gender politics we've failed to see the re-emergence of the 'ruling class'. 
    • I totally disagree. If you listen to the Guardian podcast, which speaks with the reporter and one of those on the receiving end of Farage’s abuse, it is very balanced and credible. It is also notable that we have a letter written in 1981 by an English teacher at DC, begging the head teacher not to allow farage to become a school prefect due to his ‘fascist tendencies’. That is contemporaneous evidence of his racism at the time.
    • There used to be a computer repair place in Bassano Street is it still there> Anyone know of a computer tech person who will come to house to repair/update PCs? I was recommended someone from EDF many years ago who came and installed all the programmes on my new PC.
    • Not sure it was worth getting up for. Starc is v dangerous.
