Quite well written piece...

i agree

carlton reid innit.

This has done the rounds on social media.

It's going to do the rounds at office tomorrow

Last week

Gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. I almost did the eye water.

"Remember, motorists - unless their cars concertina like Autobots from the Transformers movie www.imdb.com/title/tt0418279/ - ride two abreast all the time, even when driving solo."

¿qué?

Drivers seat is beside the passenger seat, rather than in-line.

Oh, of course. Strange point tho.

It's a counterpoint to "cyclists take up too much space on the road" - if two cyclists riding two abreast are taking up too much, then every single car is doing the same thing all the time.

He neglects to mention that many drivers carry spare sofas around with them much of the time, too.

We need a National TV campaign to highlight these points to drivers,recently ive been hit on the arm/shoulder by a van door mirror and a pizza box on the back of a moped. BORIS JOHNSON are you reading THIS THREAD

If there's room for them to overtake, then let them. If not, don't.

Potential problem with this are the cyclists that belligerently sit in the middle of the road either single or several abreast when there is enough space for vehicles to pass...opposite side of the same duality as moany drivers. We have to share.

You dissing Skully?

Nothing belligerent about taking the lane, if done with style and aplomb. Which I know you've got buckets of.

You questioning MG?

Awww, thanks. :)

You questioning MG?

Yes.

Aimed at MG actually. But you're another one of those crazy people who actually look at other people in the eye.

Oh, I know, it was just too tempting not to misappropriate. :)

Well it's obvious when you put it like that. Thanks you lot.
