The joys of London cycling
Feb. 4th, 2003 10:53 amOn the one hand: cycling through Hyde Park along the Serpentine this morning, with the sunshine and the water, and people walking dogs, and someone on a horse, and general prettiness.
On the other hand: the tosser of a taxi driver who cut me up something shocking at the complicated junction just south of Westminster Bridge (it wasn't even a "didn't check to the left before turning left" cutting-up; it was an "overtake cyclist & then turn left directly in front of her, thus not even being able to *pretend* that I didn't see her" type cutting-up). I swore, loudly, and once again discovered the difficulty of making rude hand gestures whilst wearing skiing gloves.
