Some crazy biach crashed in to me the other day... she's probably out there just waiting for another victim.
She said she didn't see me... WTF did she have her f'ing eyes closed... kind of scary how stupid f**kers are out there with directional 1 ton recking balls.
Were you in a vehicle or riding a bike or motorbike?
When your eyes are scanning from left to right your eyes actually jump from point to point. Your brain creates the illusion of a smooth, scanning image but you ar not actually viewing the whole scene continuously. You are blind during the instant that your eyes skip.
So, if you are a small enough figure, or moving fast enough, that you can fit in to the gaps in vision then it is very likely that you will not be seen. If you ride around expecting people to see you then you are going to get hit.
The solution is to make sure you keep enough free space around you so that people get enough chances to see you before they get close.
Personally I think there should be WAY MORE round abouts... what's the deal with putting traffic lights at every intersection!
What's so difficult about giving way to the people already on it or to your right.
I was already on it and to her right.
Driver gets out of her suburban insulation vehicle goes over to hime and actually starts yelling at him "What the hell did you think you were doing!?" I get off my bike and go over and tell her to fk right off away from him and make sure someone has the sense to have called the ambo/cops (no mobiles back then). Cops turn up - i give witness statement - they don't seem overly interested (speshly as i was the only witness) take my details and i never heard from them.
Conversley, drive though a roundabout near my place at 6:30 in the morning and a bunch of about 100 bikes will plough on through as though you are not there ... except to hurl abuse at you for having the temerity to have the right of way.
They do this every morning and the local cops say they know it happens. The ride is timed to coincide with the morning shift change so there's no cops around to bust them.
True. I am a part time cyclist but the aggression shown by lycra clad cowboys and riding 4 abreast etc is turkey behaviour.
I usually suggest they take up kiting. 
Don't reckon they will bother with boardies over the wetty at least.
TBH - they must get p!ssed with the nongs on the road day after day but they aren't doing the cycling world one iota of good building resentment to cyclists.
Yesterdee morning, adjacent to the high-end private school near my house, BMW driving soccer mom stopped in the middle of an intersection I was trying to cycle through for a chat with her 4wd piloting idiot friend.
Time was 8.30am and cars everywhere. WTF!? I mean seriousy WTF!!!??? Those were my actual words to the airheads.
The bus seems to start moving forward again
