"Don't contest the right of way with cable cars."
Sound advice for all there. Playing chicken with trams is rarely a good idea.

Actually, there is a certain Lady of this parish who frequently wears a short skirt over her "bloomers" - and very elegant she looks too!

was all the fashion when cyclist as a leisure pursuit exploded back in the day..
read the book/blog bike Bike Snob.
far better to read 'The Lost Cyclist' by David V Herlihy which gives a more interesting and insightful account of the time..

Hoorah! for women smoking cigars !!!
