anecdote:
ride along lane, get caught up with queue of car drivers, work way to front. the cars are behind a horse, and in turn passing the horse (really) wide and (really) slow. ride past horse in appropriate fashion. keep riding. get close-passed by every dickhead who just behaved properly around the horse.thanks guys!

out here in the countryside people will crawl behind a tractor and understand that is what they have to do when a slower vehicle is in front.
it is a lack of consideration, patience and understanding that makes people drive like cunts around cyclists. we need concerted education of drivers, reminding them that cyclists are peoples loved ones, that they are actually a big part of the solution to urban congestion and actually go faster on average than a lot of London's motorised traffic.
