A Crash Course in Cycling (or, why everyone should be a cyclist)

[Psychosplodge]

That combined with borderline roadrage behaviour in confronting someone in an aggressive manner.

I would never confront someone, you never know what they might be on...

Or just beat you up for wearing Hi-Viz... [url]http://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2013/jan/10/cycling-high-visibility-safe-fluorescent[/url]

But let's honest someone driving a several tonne vehicle can kill through in attention.

Or try and garot you, stringing a wire across a cycle path.

But that is ok, after all cycling is really bad isn't it.

I never denied that.

I reserve the feeling of wanting to do that for the illegal off road bikers that race around the footpaths in our estate.

Tfl 'refuse to release CCTV footage' of MoD chief cycle crash because he did not die

Rear Admiral Mark Beverstock, 51, was catapulted through the air and fractured his shoulder as he tried to negotiate Vauxhall Cross, one of the capital’s most dangerous junctions. He was dragged to safety by another cyclist.

He reported the incident to the Met police but was “staggered” to be told a week later that it had closed the case as he had been unable to provide the van’s registration number.

When he tried to obtain CCTV footage of the collision, just after 7am on July 3, he found Transport for London only released footage to the police if a cyclist had been killed.

So, there we have it TfL's view that there isn't any point in doing anything unless someone dies...

Not for me, it would just serve to highlight the big sweat patch in the middle of my back.
