i dont ride in london got to admit, im in brighton but you hear the same stuff about bad drivers. i see bad cyclists everyday when im driving and on my bike - car always get the blame but its almost always the cyclists causing the problem. i can see what theyre doing wrong but theyre just completely oblivious as to how to properly use the road.
like i say, i ride my bike like i do my motorbike and have no problems, i put that down to having been intensively trained to use the road, and not just assuming how its done.
"issue" - talking about on my bicycle, not my motorbike. issues as in never been cut up, had a close call, clipped by anything else, shouted at, beeped at, hit anything, anything hit me, etc. (having said that something will probably happen today...)
a lot of people in this town just have no clue, they ride like children
