  • Hard News: I'm not a "f***ing cyclist".…,

    Putting the law to one side...

    Seriously, what the fuck is up with the blindly aggressive attitude towards cyclists (or people on bikes) from motorists in this country? I mean, where the hell did it even come from?

    What stumps me is that in a country like, say, Germany - where a whole country of 'motorists' can drive as fast as they like on some parts of the autobahn - you can ride your bike on the busiest, narrowest inner city street in Berlin or Munich or Frankfurt and actually feel quite safe (you hardly see a helmet). Maybe something to do with respect? (Not only for your rights as a road user, but also that you're maybe helping in the grand scheme of things?)

    (Right, first post over with. Can chill out now.)
