yes bonzo, some cyclists are thoughtless, so are some car drivers, so are some joggers, the important point is that car drivers are not as vulnerable as cyclists pedestrians and joggers they are protected inside a car , Some drive too close to cycists, overtake on blind bends etc as an amateur cyclist [non lycra ]and one who cycles to look at the landscape not just intent on pedalling ferociously. I try to leave room for cars to overtake if i see the road is clear ahead, i beckon cars on.
as a car driver, i wish other cyclists would not ride in twos and would ride single file.
but worst of the lot are joggers who have plugs ion their ears so that they cannot hear, who think that other walkers must make way. who do not give walkers social distance .. one almost knocked me over on one occasion with their ears plugged they cannot hear cars and are a danger to themselves
