This is weird. Last night I swear I saw someone walking away from my bike. Then on my commute home I found my front brake didn't work property for some reason and I therefore went head-on into a Land Rover.
Funnily enough, that was the same Land Rover whose brakes I fixed earlier, when I spotted it parked in the street and thought it could do with a service.

It's bonkers Britain!
You sound like Noel Edmonds. Maybe you should get a crappy show on Sky too.

Oh christ, no. Nearly spilt my coffee all over my Daily Mail.

the pro-helmet lobby do piss me off with their assertions and unfounded declarations
Any 'authorities' trying to tell me what's in my best interests piss me off.
It's all part of the dumb down. In broken Britain the lunatics have taken over the asylum. Freedom of choice is being replaced with 'experts' telling us what to think, and what to do. Of course, all it's really about is vested interests and money, as usual.
Pretty soon there will be taxes on cycling, compulsory cycle training, and helmets will be mandatory. Who's that gonna benefit? Me? No. Helmet manufacturers, training organisations, the government? Yes.
Why not make steel toecaps compulsory too, to protect the feet. And, of course, heavy duty gloves. Why not force folk to wear a suit of armour, 'in their best interests'.
Fuckers.

Ayn Rand is a bit of a dickhead. How is laissez-faire capitalism doing these days, anyway?

Heh, I never knew her bro'. Just though the quote illustrated my point quite well, that was all.

<< traffic lights are designed for traffic (cars and vans) not cycles. >>
that's a bit naive are we not traffic as well, where in the Highway Code does it mention cyclists are exempt? if we all choose to legally share the same bit of road then we all respect the rule of the road, they're there for a reason (and no, I'm not ol' Bill I'm an everyday cyclist!)
It's all about common sense, not rules and regulations. Would you wait on red at 3am on a deserted street cos it says so in a book?
Ride where you want, just don't get caught.
Just my four pennorth.

......don't understand all this alarm about trying to get away and evade the police stopping you all it does is escalate a situation, wouldn't it be cheaper (and safer!) to fit front and rear lights when riding after dark and maybe not to "jump" the lights when red even if the road acrossways is empty?
scratching my head at the logic of this reasoning!Scratching MY head at YOUR reasoning. :)
Funny how we're all different innit..
