Totally agree on that. The two big off's that I had on the streets of London, I was completely blameless. BUT, I am sure if I had been observing the road and traffic as I do now, those accidents could possibly have been avoided. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Hey sorry to read this Valman - sounds like you might have bust your thumb - easily done. Take it easy man especially in Bus lanes. Someone ALWAYS cuts in, even if your in a car. Don't give up the commute. Stop in traffic if you want to. There's no rule that says you have to filter / undertake / overtake at every opportunity. Take it easy.

Al.

You read that bit Deejay :?: :wink:

Just thought of another reason why you can't give up biking, you'll miss out on filtering through Summer traffic, spotting the exec with his arm out of his wide open window that you'll pull along side and crack the throttle right open gently awakening him from his slumber.

If done correctly said motorist should have a shocked expression like he's just found a skidmark on his hotel sheet.
