One Porsche driver will be getting a little surprise in the mail soon, after giving me a close overtake this morning.
Oncoming lane was completely free of traffic, too.

Some people only learn the hard way.

Absolutely

Lovely wide pass followed by ridiculously close pass.

When the driver overtaking me is also a cyclist, but the next driver is a reckless spanker.

Not a cat but he is a bit orange..

This is the attitude to road safety we have to absolutely deal with. Wretched people.

Motorised cowardice again.

Lovely. Been on some audaxes with the lady on the left a few years ago! Look forward to reading it.

Why are such patriotic heroes drawn towards Farage and his ilk?!

Indeed. Some dumbass is blaming the temporary "narrow lanes" in place whilst the council build a cycle lane, rather than the driver who crashed into an electricity pole at 5.30am.

Baffling!

If you open the quick-release on the right, you should be able to tighten the nut on the left by hand. Then do up the QR which will be stiff enough to leave an impression on the palm of your hand.

Lesson to me to take the lane, lesson to these ones will be when the police make contact. I was concentrating on missing the potholes!

Violently assualted for doing nothing more than obeying the legal speed limit.
Yes, the attacker should be in jail. Driving and employing others shouldn't be a freedom ticket.
Also needs licence removing for good. He's clearly psychologically not to be trusted.
