The stuff I have to put up with



This is a "pinch point" on a main road near home. It is on one of the main cycling routes from the inner west into the city.

The problem with this pinch point is that it pinches out not only the road, but the cycle lane. I was going through this point today when I was almost wiped out by a garbage truck speeding up behind me. There just wasn't enough room on the road for both of us, and he had no intention of slowing down to let me get through, then overtake.
