"A RESPECTED BLOGGER" is in your signature, in bold and red... that's only why I asked!

You can put whatever claims you like in your signature. There's no obligation to justify it.

I fail to comprehend why somebody would call themselves a respected blogger, but not share their blog. It makes no sense, and you are the first blogger I have ever seen do this in almost 20 years blogging. If you don't want people to read it, or ask about it, don't advertise it, in bold red CAPITAL letters!

Please stick to the subject in hand, thanks.

I'm free to post what I like within the T&C's here and that is a fact.

This is my final response to you here as you are derailing the important subject matter.

Good afternoon.

True. But if you want, I can send you details of the lay-by and time. Please remember - mirror, indicate, brake and give way, before pulling in!

I treat psyklists like I treat horses, they're often illogical & unpredictable & should be approached with extreme caution.

The local friendly neighbourhood lorry driver summed it all up so well in t'pub yesterday. What politician was it that demonstrated the blind spots on a lorry by placing all those psyklists around it? Lorries are probably the biggest things you can come across on the road, psyklists are probably the smallest, he finds it incredibly difficult to see them, especially when they're crawling up his inside when he's indicating to turn left. He finds it incredibly difficult to comprehend that they don't seem able to see him.

psyklists

TikTok speak, cool and down with the kids? PMSL...

Only to motorists who think they have a God-given right to overtake, irrespective of whether it's safe for them, AND OTHER ROAD USERS, to do so.

Correct - but they exist and telling a cyclist to "block" them is nuts. Be ready to adapt, not put yourself in harm's way.

Youtube is full of "close pass" outrage videos.

Priceless thread. I'm just glad I'm a fantastic driver that will be able to cope with all this. It's the rest of you I feel sorry for.

Especially when riding in the dark, no lights, no bright clothing and having just jumped the red lights again.

The advertsing for this goes lived just under 3 weeks after this becomes the new rules.

When I were a lad, me and my mate decided to cycle to the Forth Bridge on our BMX's using mainly country roads. I'll never forget the sight of my mate cycling in front of me. An articulated lorry went thundering past. It didn't seem to affect me, but it created some sort of air turbulence and I saw my mate wobbling then being forced over into the grass verge. Although looking back I understand we were foolhardy to set off on such a mission, the thought of him wobbling then falling over makes me laugh to this day
