Maybe it's time to reacquaint yourself with the rules of the road you
seem to assume belongs to you?


I do drive my vehicle correctly. And I'm not tense, or stressed, or prone to
flagellatory flights of fancy. I just hate cyclists and the way they
(present company excepted) reckon they own the road - riding on the
pavement, jumping red lights, yelling abuse at elderly people and so on.


From the Westminster Cycling Campaign homepage
http://www.westminstercyclists.fsnet.co.uk/

"Although many pedestrians are afraid of unauthorised cyclists on the
footway and quite rightly resent their presence there, collisions are
thankfully ra the most common experience is that someone was "nearly
knocked down" by a cyclist. To put the problem in perspective, one
pedestrian was reported injured by a cyclist on the footway in
Westminster over the five years 1994-8. This figure compares with 246
pedestrians who were reported injured by motor vehicles on the footway
in Westminster over the same period."

Seems that the poor pedestrians and elderly, etc, really have more to
worry about than cyclists.
