Re: The joys of cycling

Cyclist, cyclist, don't mention blooming cyclist to me after what I saw yesterday.Well I will mention it anyway.
I'm driving up towards the traffic lights where the Hyndburn road crossed Dill Hall.
There was a queue of traffic in the nearside lane waiting to turn left. Another shorter queue in lane two to go straight ahead.
Three cyclist dressed in proper sports attire were weaving their way up between the two lanes and just as they approached the junction the green light came on.
Two cyclist went straight up Dill Hall but one decided to go left round the cars turning left and tried to filter into the now moving traffic. He went a hundred yards or more with cars either side of him on the dual carriageway before he cut in front of a car which decided not to kill him. There were , by now, other cars on his right hand side who had pulled out to overtake the slower cars.
It was one of the few days my car cam was switched off.
Think bike, think bo*****. When they think about others I might decide to think bike.

Rant over, time for another coffee.
Good day folks. Have a nice bank holiday on our over crowded roads.
