Nobody our enemy, only bad driver are.
Actually I have to says I did a small test on how many bad drivers there are and how many considerate one on the stretch from Clerkenwell to Wimbledon (11 miles).
I have counted (and I use that lynx click thingy, you know the one that everytime you got eyed by a hot lass you have to click it);
56 considerate driver*
8 bad drivers*.
The thing is here, we never think about the considerate one, we automatically forget them and concentrate on the bad drivers so much, that we think the road is simply littered with bad drivers and not a single considerate one.
*(i.e. giving me a generous space between me and the vehicle, stopping behind the ASL, not attempting to overtake me in desperation on a narrow road, usually double decker buses)
*(one for instance in a very fast late 90's BMW that look like it was built by the French going must've been 50mph really close to me almost knocking me off, and a mini-cab pushing my bike out of the ASL so he can be in front).
