I used to commute bloomin miles donkeys years ago, North London to Leighton Buzzard and North London to London Colney through all sorts of conditions.
I've just this week started to commute again, only a few miles now and most of that is on lanes away from roads. However I do need to use some bits of road and that's effing mental. Motorists really do hate cyclists around here (small town ya see)every day I've needed to be very very careful.
But today, I just pootled down the road on my industrial estate and clearly offended a chap in a lovely new A6 who gunned it past me and sent sparks flying when he hit the first speed bump, I must have offended him even more when I pootled past him in the cycle lane the next five times because he absolutely wrecked his new car to stay in front.
It's madness I tell thee.
On the other hand it's very peacefull going home at night.
I suppose they'd rather I drove in front of them in one of my cars?
