So many terribly prejudiced and misinformed posts on this thread.
I’d never make any excuse for a cyclist who runs a red light or those who think it cool to ride around on a black bike, all dressed in black like they’re delivering a Tour de France Milk Tray special.
I cycle to the Highway Code, many motorists don’t drive to it.
To date, I have had 19 drivers prosecuted for close passes, verbal abuse and being spat at for no other reason than riding my bike.
Whatever your view/stance, one thing is clear:
Motorists kill cyclists(just like my colleague was killed by a drunk driver last week), it’s never vice versa and with what’s currently going on in the world, in the next 2 decades more and more people will take up cycling, especially as it’s now being prescribed by GP’s in order to assist people in staving off the problems of a sedentary lifestyle.
The world is changing, many will have to change their stance and mindset if they want to be a part of it for a little while longer.
