** The "movement" I talk about is to gain rights for cyclists to have safe bike lanes, educated drivers and more cyclists year round. it is a battle here**
This is what gets up my nose, these days I get drivers tooting and trying to push me off the road because they think I ought to be in the cycle lanes that people like this canadian geezer is fighting for. Yet anyone who rides a bike 'all year round' will tell you that it is in the cycle lanes that you have to be doubly alert because you have - NO ROOM TO MANEOUVRE - inevitably you have to go half the speed that you would normally be going out in the traffic.
I really object to people politicising cycling on my behalf all they are doing is forcing their ideas down my throat
