The day will come!
Cars and other motorized vehicles are driving me mad at the moment. Just feel so aggressive / dangerous and unnecessary for the most part. When I’m cycling with my son it feels like we’re one little mistake away from an accident. People on the whole don’t seem to adjust the way they drive when they see a 10 year old on the road which I find demoralising. /rant over, soz

I was with a group of six kids doing bikeability today. I was at the back; my co-instructor, who was at the front, told me later of a driver who adjusted his behaviour. He was driving, on a narrow street, too fast, towards us and my colleague put his hand up to suggest he slow down. The driver responded by giving him the finger - until he saw the children and turned it in to a thumbs up.
Later we we had someone on a mobility scooter drive through the line of children in a bike lane.

A mother and her two daughters on that nice new bit of CS7 next to St Mary's Churchyard this morning - mum on the bike and the girls on push scooters.
Mum would signal and give a shout, which would be passed down the line and repeated by each of the girls. Proper disciplined stuff!
Also a girl on the same bit of CS7 riding on the front of her grandad's mobility scooter.
Felt like a snapshot of a car-free urban utopia, except I could hear the angry horns on E&C 200 yards away.
