    Saw Viv's tweet; from what I read, it was a typical dangerous and ignorant driving from a WVM.

    I hope nothing serious happened to the cyclist!

    That might have been me! A van had stopped in the road because of a car turning right, as I was passing on the inside he decided, without indicating, to mount the kerb and turn left just near the prison. I turned to see him giving me the v's in his wing mirror. The side of the van actually scraped along the side of my jacket.

    I was on a black Ribble and dressed in a red jacket, sound like me?

    Don't know if you was you or not El Diego but I hope no injuries. It's pretty scummy down there, general rule of thumb is that people will turn left without indicating. At least there#d've been witnesses.
