My sick very overweight Parrot has just died....i feel like a huge weight has gone from my shoulders
It's that time of year again....'The Secret Cyclists'. Under the cloak of darkness they wobble their way along on their undercover mission. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Fixie. Clothed in black and without the illumination of lights in order to create a virtual cloak of invisibilty to the passing motorists who desperately seek to reveal their identity in the pitch black. Will their cover be blown?. Will they actually arrive at the rendezvous in one piece?. Will the motorists be to blame whatever?. To be continued............(until the clocks go forward).
The Highway Code is going to be changed to encourage people to open their car door using the " dutch reach" and at the same time Cycling UK want the code to say vehicles must give at least 1.5 metres space when overtaking a cyclist., why can't cyclists give 1.5 meters space when passing parked cars as well?At the same time time Cycling UK are also asking for the advice for cyclists to wear a safety helmet and fluorescent clothing to be removed as this encourages " victim blaming" and as everyone knows cyclists are never in the wrong!
why can't cyclists give 1.5 meters space when passing parked cars as well?
You'd be lucky to see their back wheels this morning at 6.30 a.m. Pitch black with thick fog and still no lights or bright clothing.

Still doesn't help if some bugger isn't looking or has a sense of entitlement because they "pay to use the road" and think I shouldn't be in their way, even though the law says I have as much right to use the road as them...
