In reply to Pids:
Same old same old, All cyclists are lunatics in ninja costumes without lights, jumping lights riding on pavements, blocking traffic for no other reason other than to annoy drivers. And all drivers are haring around blind with the sole intent of killing cyclists.
All depends on whether you are a cyclist or a driver doesn't it.
You'd think that both parties would have read enough of these tiresome rants that they would think twice. Something along the lines of:-
Driver: "that cyclist on the news/in the papers was really pissed off about people brushing part his elbows at 40 mph, perhaps I should give him a bit more space and acknowledge he exists."
Cyclist: "That truck driver totally didn't see me cycling along without proper lights, perhaps I should put some lights on."
Or for the minority of cyclists who give the majority a bad name
"That driver got really pissed off when I jumped those lights that he's been sat at for 10 min, I wonder if that is why he sped past me whit that Psycho rage look in his eye."
It doesn't take a lot really does it.
