Cycle Lane - near miss
So, I got myself a bike recently to use around chiswick. So far I find the chiswick part a bit of a pain. It's stop start , zebra crossings, stop start traffic lights which seem to take an age. However the king street section has been really good in comparision. From Hamm to Goldhawk it really goes and goes. UNTIL JUST NOW, I was cycling along at about 12-15mph and I was at a section where there is a small raised kerb between the cycle lane and the road. Just as I was reaching a side road a van turned left infront of me and nearly wiped me out, I managed to rapidly swerve and avoid a collison into the side of the van. A near miss! I think the fact there is a kerb between me and the van makes me invisible.
