okay .. so there i was this morning, happily riding to work, along with the 'posse' of people that ride at the same time, the people you know by face and bike or helmet, but you say little more than hello.
anyway, the stupidity of those 'other' cyclists who have taken to riding bikes to work in an effort to 'get fit' astounds me. Not only is it bad enough that we don't have specific biking lanes through large pedestrian areas which makes you concentrate harder (people, cars, trucks what not to look out for), these converted cyclists have taken there bad driving habits to bikes. 4 stupid riders almost hit me this morning from the side while cycling along and talking on a mobile phone .. *** ME! .. (beg the language)
we all know that its harder riding .. we give way to pedstrians, we follow road rules, we look out for other traffic .. we shouldn't have to deal with dumb riders.
