  • I got shunted from behind at a set of red lights where pedestrians where crossing. The driver had been revving his engine and sounding his horn while I was decelerating to come to a stop at the lights. I called the Police s the driver felt he was right to hit me from behind and wanted to leave the scene. Rounded up 3 witnesses and took photos of the damage to bike.

    Not enough evidence to pursue.

    This and various offer situations have lead me to conclude that this country is a joke and I might as well emigrate.

    do it.
    my partner and i are.
    fuck this sinking ship, we're taking our sought-after skills sets and bailing.
    guess we'll be part of some kind of statistical "brain drain" that will be blamed on the recession, but it's not about economics (which are effecting the country we're moving to like practically every other)
    It's about the sad and terminal decline of a country that could have reinvented itself as a model affluent and liberal society after the overdue decline of it's empire but has chosen to slide into disrepair, disrepute and borderline kleptocracy.
    and seems to hate bikes and cyclists……
