I took especial care to remember that number, and I'm pleased I did.
A BOC truck on Balham Hill heading south last night. It's a fast road for cyclists (pedestrian crossings permitting), even though it's uphill. There are three pedestrian refuges that create serious pinch points. And there are an awful lot of motons who think they can barge past in the space, and end up almost squishing a rider.
Well, this BOC driver had the amazing superpower of anticipation. He looked ahead, saw what was happening, and decide that, yes, 20mph was just fine for the moment, and he would sit behind at a suitable distance, patiently, until there was room to pass. As soon as there was, I pulled aside & motioned to him to come through.
I caught him a couple more times. Each time he passed me, it was carefully and with plenty of room. As it was when he passed another cyclist.
I've just rung BOC. Sounds like they are frazzled with managing emergency orders at the call centre, so the resignation of 'Yes, I can take a complaint from you' turned to great joy when I let her know it was a compliment.
I suspect that it may have been the driver that delivers to work, but he wouldn't have recognised me, though it helps keep the customer sweet if you don't terrorise them on the road.
