I know wearing my club jersey I behave my self more. If the committee get an email saying saw one of yours behaving baby around sudbury Glemsford way they will think Malcolm. So I don't behave badly.
The main cause though for poor behaviour is that the roads are designed around the car. That is slowly starting to change but it is still no excuse for using the pavement. The way we do tragic lights though needs to be looked at. They need to pick up cyclists and change when there is no one about which some do but not all. Also allowing left turns like the Americans do (Right turns) will help a bit too. If traffic flow is eased then the poor behaviour will demish if rules rules rules continue to prevail which impede traffic flow for everyone then all you get is frustrated bike riders and frustrated car drivers making sweeping generalisations about the other when tempers flare a bit.
