In Hemel Hempstead, cycling is as bad as taking a leak in the middle of the street

Indeed I had a very close call near Angel. I was on the centre island, looking left, the traffic behind me was on a red light about to go green, nothing was coming, so I turned ahead and stepped down onto the road. I got clipped by a cyclist who had taken it upon themselves to go around the island on the wrong side of the road against the red light. They were doing a fair lick too as that's a long downhill stretch. If I had looked right, I would have seen them of course, but you don't expect traffic to be going around the wrong side of a traffic island when the lights are red - except emergency vehicles of course.
