The whites of their eyes... - SV650.org

I nearly managed to hit 2 cyclists this morning, both would have been significant accidents.

Both, seperate occasions, were going the wrong way down a one-way street, and consequently approaching a junction incorrectly. One of them was on his mobile phone for crying out loud!

So let's say I had hit them, hospitalised them - very likely, what protection would I have been offered? Probably none!

Should I be keeping an even sharper eye out for these people taking the law into their own hands? One of them got a load of abuse from me once I realised he was having a natter on his phone

They're out to get you!

Keep sharp & practice those emergency moves!

Glad to hear it didn't come off worse, and the guy riding on his phone (no, not literally, fools) is obviously a car driver!

As Mr.Toad suggests. I think you should rig up a boxing glove of huge cartoon proportions,mounted on a spring loaded launcher on each side of your bike. A good old clubbing in the ear might see them mend there ways!
