The last place I want cars is behind me, where I can't see them. Sometimes there's not much I can do about it say climbing a hill with just a grass verge for company. As is the usual mantra on these threads an idiot is an idiot irrespective of their mode of transport. Today I tried to keep...

There's always going to be 'issues' based on the cyclists, drivers and vehicles concerned. Annoyingly you can almost see the train station from the bridge. In Holland that path would take you straight to the station, where there'd be 10 times the bike racks, and hardly any cars on the road.

We all complain about little Tarquin being driven the 2 miles to school, by mummy in her massive off-road type car, but how many posters would say their local schools are 'attached' to decent cycle paths? Of the half a dozen schools in my area 1 has decent access from 1 direction.

You'd have earned the right to kill considerably more people.

The first time I did it we were in Evans Clapham the day before mesmerised by a 'full bodied' lady asking the assistant to make her bike suitable for the event. The only problem was her bike was a much lower specced version of something like this:- The poor fella was all but lost for...

Easily sorted - just get to the Beacon long before the idiots arrive. :whistle:
