I nearly eliminated a cyclist the other day.
I was going along a country B road with overhanging trees, where even on a sunny day it can be a little dark, doing about 50 or 60 and it was late afternoon so the light was fading. Suddenly there's a cyclist in front of me and I went around him OK, but had something been coming the other way it could have been messy!
It was one of these Wiggins wannabees on a racing bike and the prick had no lights and was wearing black and grey lycra!
Now I'm generally fine about cyclists as there are pricks in cars, trucks, buses and on motorbikes too and I think that calls for cyclists to be registered and insured is nonsense really, as we have too much control and bureaucracy in this country as it is.
Jumping on a bicycle and wobbling off down the road is probably one of the last fun, free and unregulated activity there is and long may it continue!
I wish though that cyclists would wear hi viz clothing, as I really really don't want the death of some lycra wearing pillock who thinks he looks cool or the bloke heading home from work on his old mountain bike wearing an old Barbour jacket on my conscience thanks!
