On a more serious note, the way I see it is that when I am on the road,

What are you talking about?! Everyone knows it's always the cyclist's
fault, he just swerved in front of me officer!.

Not this cyclist, officer He gonna dots as many "i"s as he can and
cross as many "t"s as he can and he has a good solicitor who has been
already been informed of his very safe riding habits, eg 2x rear lights,
2x hi-vis vests, his traffic awareness, his road positioning, etc etc
etc etc

I am reasonably certain I have done enough for my estate to collect but
it does not mean I shouldn't be doing more, of cos


(PS steer into the camber of the road, it makes it easier to trackstand)


Mate, I've tried EVERYTHING and I have blamed EVERYTHING and it ain't no
use - I am hopeless at it. I just know I am totally useless More
practice probably the only thing left for me to do even if it ain't
helping very much so far
