Spenceey, No idea, it always makes me giggle, they pedal like they've a rat up their arse to get across the lights, then not 100 yards later seem to run outta puff and practically stop....... I drift past will all the time in the world, no stress, just a steady pedal only for the same thing to happen at every junction........ It amazes me that the same illuminated brigade don't realise they're stressing and sweating to gain a yard, or 3 seconds to their journey end...... while in blissful harmony with my ride I get to work not stressed, not particularly sweaty (unless I woke up late and HAD to pedal like a loon), and with a smile - Personally I reckon it's the hi-vis thing, eye recognition engages the brain and panic ensues.......... Must be a hybrid thing...... I don't get it....
