It had to happen with that build up!!!! Crystal Palace!!!!

If you mean the serious types that are out doing time trials then they form little peletons. They do try to do these on quiet roads, usually out in the New Forest, but I think I know the types you mean; the ≤ 15mph lot probably. There you go, creating divisions in the cycling camp now I am....

Aah....

I too share a fondness for Dani....

You're right, my bad..... Anyway; Bing

Cheers Minty; the voice of reason. That's finished this thread off then!!!!

In fairness, you really should check your left side for just this eventuality. This isn't a 'stand up for cyclists have a go at a car driver' post but is something we were told we should do when I took both my car and bike tests about 25 years ago. I think you'll find that if you took a cyclist out (or other road user) by turning left in front of them you could get prosecuted for driving without due care and attention.

Shocked and saddened. RIP Markus. Sincere condolences to the Liebherr family, Saints are in the great man's debt for bringing us out of dark times, we can't thank him enough for this.

Taking demarcation over here a bit more seriously would help!!!! Probably wouldn't have ploughed into the pedestrain mentioned in one of my posts above if rules of demarcation had been properly observed!!!! But anyway, how fast can you resonably be expected to go on a cycle path? I tend to get my head down to try and get from Point A to Point B as quickly as possble if I'm commuting.

Just out of interest, with all this talk of cycle lanes, what is the etiquette of cycling along these? I'm sure a lot of cyclists get on the road where they have a choice so they can get on the rivet and rip along as fast as they can if they're going to or from work. In cycle lanes I presume that you have to trundle along at a little over jogging pace because of other users and pedestrians? Might as well get your running shoes on a run to work.... Just asking....

But that's the decision of the driver, not the cyclist. If you've seen a cyclist/slower moving vehicle ahead then you plan your manoeuvre way back so you don't have to jam on the brakes, knock it down a cog or 2 and then put your foot down.

I have had Orb and A huge ever growing pulsating brain that rules from the centre of the ultraworld on today as I was changing the taps in the kitchen. Basically been listening to Orb's adventures beyond the ultraworld while doing chores.

Um, how is the cyclist not being 'green'?
