I’m a keen cyclist and do a 12 mile commute through central London a few days a week. Truth be told I despair of other riders, 80% of them are complete idiots, jumping red lights riding on the pavement, weaving through pedestrians trying to cross the road - It’s a complete nightmare and totally unnecessary, Id love to summons someone for furious and wanton cycling..that would make my day.
The media and the cyclists pressure groups make a big noise when a cyclist is squashed by a lorry, everyone wants to fit extra mirrors of cameras to the trucks and re train the drivers even make them ride around town on a bike to see what its like. The simple matter of it is cyclists get squashed by lorries turning left because they filter down the left hand side to get in front of the lorry and save a few seconds at the lights...simple solution...don’t bloody do it and if you do don’t complain if you get crushed!.
And Boris bikes..don’t get me started..great idea..very commendable for tourists etc in the west end...but it's created a great wobbling army of clueless peddling zombies, its like trying to fly a hang glider through a Kamikaze festival.
