Ahhhhggghhhhh!!!! did you have to do that to me on a Monday morning?!!

In reply to Tom Hutton:
Jeremy Clarkson is *such* a bell end.

In reply to deepsoup: It's sad that they had to use him to illustrate the thing really. But some excellent arguments throughout for a change.

In reply to Tom Hutton:
Yep. It's nice to see someone putting forward the (bleedin obvious, but strangely seldom acknowledged) case for why non-cyclists should be in favour of as many people cycling as possible.

Shame about the emphasis on "segregated cycle routes" though, they're so often useless, even counterproductive.

In reply to deepsoup:

I would have said a prize w4nk3r

In reply to Tom Hutton:

I would, sad to say like to see more cyclist using lights, I use a least 4 and cycle mainly on cycleways,
but that is a different point I know

In reply to All the Gear, No Idea:

2 Issues there - 1. Can the cyclist be seen? 2. How does the driver react to the cyclist?

In most accidents, and pretty much all the road rage horror stories (i've suffered one myself), the cyclist has been seen - so no need for more lights/hi vis etc - but the driver either deliberately or unwittingly puts the cyclist in danger through bad driving.

This is what needs to stop to make cycling safe
