Sometimes I just don’t know.. why I bother. It doesn’t matter how much people are encouraged to cycle rather than drive they just don’t listen. Even if 50% of the drivers suddenly switched to using bikes, it would be the smart 50% and we’d still have a load of morons left driving around. <\/p>\n

Morons like the arse-clown that tried to push me into the gutter tonight. Captain Ignorant changes lanes into me without indicating. <\/p>\n
