It's difficult enough cycling in this weather, rain blinds you, gusty wind causes you to wobble, glass in the gutter (which is where we have to cycle !) causes you to avoid it, not to mention those 'local govt workers' who pull right over to the kerb when a car is turning right in front so you can't get past. Yeh like they are gonna get through !!  |
Sorry, but if the weather conditions are bad enough to affect your ability to control your bike, then you should not be out riding, no excuse.
If you don't have a vehicle that can cope with this weather, then take the bus, hire a taxi, or walk.
Going out knowing you will not be able to handle your vehicle in a normal manner because of the weather conditions is highly irresponsible!
If a car is too close to the pavement for you to get past, then you simply have to wait for them to move, it's not that hard to comprehend is it?
Cyclists always amaze me when they go on congestion protests and invade brighton. I think the irony is lost on them as they cause brighton to grind to a halt with the congestion they cause, not to mention the accidents as they are all over the place, changing lanes without without hand signals, kicking cars should they dare to turn left, even if they've been indicating for the past minute!
