I'd settle for them to get a solid, armoured fist to the face. I can't condone doing it but to be honest I don't think I'd be able to stop myself...

You know when you get that mushroom cloud of rage... That's what I got when I read it. But actually hearing it....

Yeah i did Paul and graham painstakingly got me through my DAS i don't know if you know Paul's style mate but it works A LOT i did a U turn on a road which has literally not a Cm's room for error
they are amazing at that place,

i don't want to offend good drivers i just had two brown undie moments in about 10 Min's due to ignorance

I am seriously into biking as im sure everyone that uses this site i'm just learning the downsides
and whinging about it lol,

I did my DAS there too, Paul is a top is bloke (I don't know Graham, it was just Paul when I did mine).

I can still hear him shouting at me when I do something silly even now !

I remember he would also point out attractive young ladies whilst we where stopped at traffic lights.
"Ayup lads, mini-skirt at 3 o'clock"

He did say he was going to try and tone down his language as he was getting more female customers.

Reminds me of going to college the other day (i live in kent tho ) was coming down a hill and the road splits into 2 lanes for a roundabout so i took the left lane to take the first exit, as i was coming into the left lane the 4x4 didn't like me going there so tried to actually knock me off! my elbow and boot hit his door and he was looking at me too. have to say woke me up for college

lol, now instead of saying "Ayup lads, mini-skirt at 3 o'clock" he just says Simply "And a rear check and continue lol,"

Lyle. No i know i cant possibly comment on your riding as i hav never met you. But i have riden with people who have similar views. And watching thier riding opens up all manor of things. No, noe like being told that thier riding is pants, but what you have to think is how easy are you maiking yourself being seen. Not just a red bike, or green stripped leathers(So not the in thing dahhhling ) but your road positioning. Remember, bikes can move a lot quicker than a car. What was not there when they did look in thier mirror, might be there when they move. Simple. MAKE YOURSELF SEEN by good road postion. Id suggest a Bikesafe course, if you think its getting too much for your safety mainly.

Its good having a rant, and hell, im sure that most of the london commuters, could write pages anpages daily about thier ride in, but its just something you shrug off after a while and 'get used to'

I love riding in traffic...it hones the reactions to a sharp point...

Ride safe
