I have felt for some time now that as traffic gets heavier, cars faster , drivers less and less able, patient or caring ...that to cycle on any road is highly risky. When you add in the "typical" cyclist mentality ( as amply illustrated by those here), of not giving a damn so long as they can keep going ...its no wonder there are accidents. I dont think any other road user has such an arrogant single minded pomposity as the cyclist...spitting venom at all who offer any opinion ....
as a child we all took cycling proficiency tests, which may sound a bit parochial now, at least was some education on how to be a responsible road user...I laugh at the notion that somehow being a cyclist is to be an outlaw, above all road regulations....then complain bitterly at how bad they get treated by other road users.
