In congested traffic I always take the 'middle' lane option, when I'm properly riding, because I'll be going at a reasonable speed. My thinking being drivers should be looking for motorcyclists there, not to mention removing the left turn aspect of safety.

I put it to you that you haven't come across a lot of good cyclists. I bet the majority of cyclists you see are good, but they don't register. What you see in a minority of idiots, but that's not stopping you from branding everybody as the same. Might I suggest when out and about, this week...

I have no idea where you stand on the 'Is Jeremy Clarkson a knob', debate. But it's odd how Clarkson is roundly vilified for being an arse, but when it comes to running cyclists over he's inadvertently championed by those who despise. If these 'safer' roads were in fact safer I'm sure they...

I guess the fella from the Advanced Drivers Assoc was right after all. If you actively choose a road that had a 15 mph limit but are strangely unable to control a geared vehicle at that speed, I'd have to wonder what category of driver you were. Some drivers are also CJTC's unfortunately for...

Would that be ALL drivers?

Jeeeez it clearly isn't NorthStandBrainSurgeons tonight. Ok I'll type slowly. The point is to encourage more cyclist to use these safer routes, thereby taking them away from being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It will also encourage more drivers away from rat runs. I wish I could...

T'is amazing how the actual facts can change a story. It won't be the busiest roads. It'll be the 'rat run' road that are either impractical for car use, or roads where the alternative route is more suitable for cars but perhaps a couple of minutes longer. Thereby making the roads safer for all...

Now I've had my fun at Westdene's expense, I'll lighten the mood a little. This fella needs all the road (and verge) he can get:- 468381485813493760

Not half as strange as someone missing the exclamations marks at the end of the statement, that was clearly included just to get a reaction. I can't believe it took 11 minutes.

Yet another thread requiring a little bicycle icon. Road safety proposal by Department for Transport would give cyclists priority, restricting cars to 15mph with potential £100 fine. About time to. Clearly the bicycle is the only way forward, now we will be able to legally ride in the middle...
