Saw NSTN just after leaving home. Then, there were Police with clipboards at that awful Aldgate junction. I wonder what they were making notes about - maybe how to make the junction less cycle friendly? They were there the other morning as well, but instead of clipboards they seemed to be issuing fines to RLJing cyclists. They had parked directly over the bit of blue paint. Yeah the blue paint and junction is crappy anyway, but it was particularly more so with everyone having to navigate around the parked police car.
And then this evening, same junction but heading home, I was going right onto the Commercial Road. I was in the ASL and there was a guy on a scooter to the left of me in the ASL. When the lighs changed we both moved, except I was going for a long shallow right turn to avoid the hole in the road, whereas he was going for a sharp right. It all got a bit wobbly, sweary and clenchy for a brief moment as his front wheel came into contact with my foot on the pedal. No harm done but cue lots of head shaking from both of us at each other.
