Near Miss of the Day 809: “Just doesn’t get closer than this” – Cyclist squeezed between van and kerb at bike lane pinch point

“I’m aware of the potential for this type of encroachment at this location,” John told road.cc.

“Unfortunately, that lined me up with the van driver who, it turned out, was oblivious to the bike lane, let alone me. I had to lean into the van and hope for the best.” After the incident, John stopped to tell the driver that he was “all over the bike lane” and had “nearly blew me off the kerb” – only to be met with, in the cyclist’s words, “No apology. Not a word. Just a stupid blank look”.
