    I did wonder that as well.

    Also it doesn't say, I don't think, if he was using a cycle lane or on the road itself. It can be tricky cycling on a road with a car up your arse: a light goes red, you wonder if the car behind will stop or is gambling on you going through as well.

    The cyclist may have felt pressure not to drop speed. Maybe.

    Yep.

    Think there was more to it than the papers have said but it doesn’t make a good story if he is actually partially to blame.

    I read it that bikes and pedestrians would be equal, otherwise in all European cities walkers would be lauding it down the middle of the road flicking the v's at the cyclists, who are flicking the v's at the cars who are flicking the v's at the lorries and daring them to get close.

    I don't know really, just that it makes cycling safer which has to be better for societal health, environment, and municipal fiscal situations viz a viz road repairs.

    It puts people in a priority order, basically biggest to smallest. If you are the bigger of two things involved it is presumed it is your fault unless you prove otherwise. So truck and car it would be the trucks fault, car and bike it would be the bikes fault, car and person again the cars fault, bike and person it would be the bikes fault.

    Not when thick pedestrians walk in the bike lane.

    My new political party will come down hard on idiots and the causes of idiocy.

    On the hunt for some bbc4 documentary action & the first one I look at features a lighthouse. They've shown it twice in the intro.

    Going in.

    Simple. Annex East Anglia. Put all the little Britainers in there, with heavy military presence on the A1 to keep them exiled, and a destroyer berthed just off Lowestoft to keep them in check. The place will be under water soon anyhow, so that's them sorted. Then some type of Norway agreement and low tariffs on bikes, lycra and anti-chaffing creams.
