I agree infrastructure does play a key role in the conditioning of cyclists and drivers alike, the assumption that 2 wheels ride the gutter and 3 wheels plus everywhere else. What I don't get, many of us here don't either, is the perpetuation of 'I have to be first, I have to be first' - It's not an age thing - There is no age range that can be picked as worst offender, it's not gender specific, what is it?
Why is there this undying need to be at the front and be first? Is it perceived as safer up front? Despite the carnage caused behind them, is it because it's behind them therefore it's nothing to do with them? I dunno...... every time I see it I'm as amused as I am amazed at how people move in traffic.
