Subject: RE: BS: Damned cyclists
Backwoodsman - no problems - we are on the same page regarding those idiots and tossers...

I used to consider myself a militant cyclist, primarily from a position of self defense and preservation..
I was definitely a very assertive rider..

But there is now an emerging breed of hostile middle class eco warrior cyclists
with a monumental sense of entitlement regarding coexistence on the roads with motorists...

..there will always be extremists and nutters...

My cycling near death experiences were all the fault of careless drivers,
except for one occasion when I had too much over-confidence in my brakes on a steep wet incline...


However my clashes with wanker cyclists have all been on pavements...!!!
