Secondly, my posts are about cycling - my opinion may differ from yours however. -- Dave - intelligent enough to realise that a push bike is a kid's toy, not a viable form of transport. |

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

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.

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