GEEKASAURUS Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Do any other cyclists use the Willowbrook Rd turn off into the Surrey Canal Path? It involves a right turn, crossing the other lane on what is effectively a blind summit. Cyclists have two options, hugging the gutter then moving out into the middle of the road, hoping they're allowed to do so in time, or to take the middle of the lane earlier and hope the cars behind are patient enough to not try to kill you. I tend to the latter. Today someone forced me into the middle of the road between the two lanes, undertook me and then swerved in front of me while braking, forcing me to brake and swerve, coming very close to me. I took this as an attempt to force me off my bike rather than an attempt to physcially hit me which I'm sure he could have done easily. Had aggro at this bit before but nothing this bad.1. What should I do? I have his number plate. Don't know if there is CCTV there.2. If anyone else has problems here do they know of efforts to change the junction/add a filter lane or other solutions.Thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26569-another-dangerous-junction-peckham/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelC Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I might have my roads confused, but why don't you join the Surrey Canal Path earlier when you can do it as a left turn? Or use the crossing from Burgess Park to the canal path?
