No denying the countryside is beautiful and when you do get out of the towns and cities there are some fantastic routes to be discovered. It doesn't take away the fact that the majority of vehicle drivers are single minded when it comes to cyclists. The laws need to be changed to give the cyclist more protection, the drivers need to be educated on the dangers they pose when cyclists are on the road.
Then again there's another side to the story, cyclists here also jump red lights, skip over pavements, draft vehicles, cut up the inside of stationary traffic and they too should be brought into the equation and equally require educating.
