    Yesterday I was filtering along the outside of a long queue of stationary
    traffic in Romford. Fortunately I was moving quite slowly - around 10mph.
    This gave me time to see the woman pushing a pram who had decided to cross
    the road from between two vans. Obviously she had assumed that it was safe
    to cross as the traffic on her side wasn't moving and there was no traffic
    coming the other way. It was a useful reminder of the need for caution when
    filtering in built-up areas. Motorcycle vs pram is not a contest that I
    would ever want to participate in.

    Sounds like a race my bike might actually win :)

    Why on earth not? You should win easily[1], unless your bike's made of
    cardboard.

    [1] Maybe not if the baby's a fattie. A quick look at the mother should
    help with this. If she's wearing a tracksuit & carrying some Asda bags,
    avoid the pram at all costs.
