Death was so close, you could lick it
2 Jun, 2020 - 6 years ago - on B480 Towards Stadhampton B480, Oxfordshire. Silver Audi gets inpatient, decides to overtake into oncoming traffic, decides it was the wrong idea and then tries to squeeze me out of existence. By pure luck (and some close contact road racing skills), I didn’t die. The closest I have come to death in four years cycling on the road. All the driver had to do was wait another 5 seconds and everyone would have been on their merry way. But no.
This clip has been on twitter and was picked up by BBC Oxford for a radio interview about it. Also on BBC South West news with an interview about asking drivers to be patient to just think about the human beings on bikes. This has been reported to Thames Valley Police............
