Guardian article on cyclist attacks

[12TS]

It's quite an interesting read, and many of the issues get aired in GG on a boringly weekly basis.

Having cycled in London for nearly four years this quote doesn't ring true though

"...cyclists experience on average one “very scary” incident involving another road user every week. Female riders suffer disproportionately more, thought to be because drivers are less patient with their slower average speeds"

I would say my scare rate is about once a year, possibly less, but over time I've learnt to smile, stop at lights and say thanks to people who let me out.

And off it goes again....

I'd like to think if I'd have been rational if I'd been clipped and made my point without causing damage. Tempting as damage may be I can't help but think a visit from plod would have had more impact.

Meanwhile back over in the Telegraph, it's business as usual.

Red lights? Tick. Lycra Louts? Tick. Insurance? Tick. Registration? Tick. I cycle too, really I do? Tick. Surely this was "written" by some Anti-Cycling Content Generator

I don't bother reading the Torygraph now. It's all click bait and trying to copy the Mail.
