12:25pm today, kitted out roadie, helmet, nice-ish bike (dunno really, it was a road bike, same as they were making 100 years ago), headphones in, nervously looks at my car approaching as he rolls the red light in a Southerly direction at Farburn/BOS junction. I enter from Farburn and turn right and think: "dick, I now have to watch my offside extra carefully to make sure I give you plenty of room and not get my car too close to the stationary traffic".
If that was you, give yourself a good talking to. We'll have none of that london village behaviour here thanks. There are hundreds of massive ARR Craib (and the rest) artics thundering around Dyce all day with stressed multi-drop drivers at the wheel (I'm scared of them and I'm in a metal box). You're gonna die, soon, if you carry on doing stuff like that. No-one wants the paperwork either...
Rant over.
No sorry, it's not! Just remembered another cyclist on the back road from Dyce to Blackburn tonight at 4.15pm with the 2000 lumen strobe (5 flashes per second - ish)light. Stupidly Bright OR flashing NOT BOTH! It actually hurts the eyes! If you blind drivers they will lose control and run over you.
Stop being idiots!
Now...... calm......
you dont get out much do you, perhaps let your partner drive next time. 😯
He was pushing his bike on te dyce blackburn road when i saw him. Very visble and i thought he was doing th right thing if he insists on riding on tha road
Don't get many RLJ round here, but I got one the other day I had to brake hard for as my lights had just gone green and I'd started to roll when they went through their red light. The woman driving looked like she wasn't aware she'd done anything wrong when I hooted her.

I drive at least 300 miles a week, what's yer point? First RLJer I've seen in 2 years of living in Aberdeenshire. My 'partner' would have either hit him, the stationary traffic or given me whiplash from panic braking. Hence I do 99% of the driving...

He was visible, just painful when his strobe hit the back of my retina. There's no easy, safe rush-hour cycle route from Dyce to A96 though. Well, apart from through Kirkhill forest...
I was mainly annoyed because they were annoying the motorists. Maybe the annoyed motorists will take it out on me when I ride on the road in the future. Just sayin.
