I`m a cyclist, and by jaysus do i see some gobshites every single day. When i cycle i wear a US Army Hi-Vis vest so there is absolutely no possible way that i cannot be seen, yet the amount of scrapes and near misses i`ve had is ridiculous,- most notably and recently a female driver coming out of a junction.
I had the right of way, and had she bothered to look right she would have seen me, but no she drove straight out, forcing me to turn sharply and brake suddenly, (all male cyclists should know the ‘fear’ of braking suddenly and getting the nuts bet off the handlebars.)
She also braked, obviously after noticing a big bright orange thing almost hitting the side of her car, but what happened next really took me aback, a child that was STANDING in the back went flying between the driver and passenger seat and whacked his head on the gearstick, she lowered her window where i was and shouted at me ” look what ya f**kin did”………….
I`m considering buying a foghorn to attach to the handlebars.
