Don't try and make excuses for motorists, just apologise.


We don't need to do either. We are becoming impresively safer, cyclo****s
are becoming increasingly more at risk.

Says Mr car (oops van, pardon me) driving, don't have a bike, troll-a-

post a single word.

First of all SFB's I haven't accused anyone of OT posting. Secondly, my
posts are about cycling - my opinion may differ from yours however.

If I've said it a million times I'm exagerating, but speed differentials
will always increase risk. Happened with motorcylists too, but they take
steps to make other road users aware of where they are, cyclists need to
do the same, not just moan.

stop generalising and grow up. I'm not apologising for some ****** just
because he drives like most people, get some sense and stop trying to mix
it with 44 tonners, it will never be safe.


How odd, that seems to be exactly what virtually every denizen of
uk.rec.drivel and uk.tosspot require of the cyclists when they post
here.


Well don't post here then if you don't like the opinions expressed!
