Most of your links describe criminal activities that have nothing to with riding a bike. I believe cars are responsible for a lot of society's ills. In a car you are your own little world and other people are just in the way. In a car, I feel hemmed in and constrained. A bike gives a very different view of the world. I believe I transfer some of the feeling of vulnerability, the spatial and defensive skills learned on a bike into driving. As I have said before, safe driving is more about attitude than machine control. In the past when people walked, cycled and used the bus they had to cooperate with their fellow man. Just look at the way drivers push into queues, behaviour that would not have been tolerated in the past. Now we see the same ME FIRST attitude everywhere. There is a massive level of hypocrisy amongst people that only see the the world through the windscreen and mutter about various perceived faults of a person they see riding a bike. We've had an example recently. Nugent was berating me about a lack of respect for pedestrians (I am a cyclist, therefore I can't have any) and then went on to mention "silly pedestrians" getting in the way of him in his car. Nugent has some serious mental health issues. |
