Thanks folks for the info, off to Brugge too - how did you realise that Wizzo he he he.
Karen
Brugge is a good place to cycle watch. If you go up to T'Sand and watch the cars turning off the square they always look over their shoulders to see if a cyclist is going to go straight on.
"Clive like the idea of false number plate - know where I can get them from????? "
Yes
That bloke at all the shows who does number plates has a non English trading address so is not confined by our laws. He will make up any plate you want. Try HRH1 and see how you get on.
that makes it sound as if the cyclist initiated the crash.
But they usually do!
Either cycling in the road even though thousands have been spent on providing them with a safe route.
Or cycling at night in dark clothes on unlit roads with no lights whatsoever on the bike.
Or racing (sorry, sorry, sorry, time trialing) on busy A roads and in order to stay in the race (sorry, sorry, sorry, time trial) cutting across faster moving traffic at roundabouts and junctions.
Climbs off soapbox and cycles safely away using the kindly provided cycle way.............................
Swee ping statement, I think!
There are bad cyclists as there are bad drivers, I know, but not the majority as you imply.
As for using cycle lanes, I went out last weekend with my sister who's a novice cyclist and kept to the cycle paths as much as we could but the amount of broken glass on them was rediculous and I ended up with a puncture! A different cycle path the next day and even more glass so I make no appologies for riding (while lit up like a xmas tree) on main roads which are regularly swept & maintained (and gritted if you like when its icy!)
It is not a legal requirement to use cyclepaths unless a particular highway prohibits cycles and there is an agreement between the Ministry of Transport and CTT (one of cyclings governing bodies) allowing time trials to take place.
Wanders off to don skinsuit & aerohelmet for 10am start!
Where cycle lanes intersect with roads often there will be dedicated traffic lights for the cyclists. Police can take the same view of red runners at these lights as they do for vehicles running red lights on the roads, if you do run a red light on the cycle lane be prepared for a 'talking to' or a fine if caught.
