A real nice ride yes, but bucketloads of Plods and cameras unfortunately!! 

And depending on the time shitloads of cyclists with a death wish and mouths full of abuse for everyone else who dont get out of their way!!

hey, I resemble that remark!

I guess I don't have a problem with them cause I can see how they approaching traffic with their inherent vulnerability - and I understand that another less than a meter or distance sounds and feels way TOO close. Out Ducmeister's way it's even better, you slow, wait, pull over and get to rapidly accelerate past - it's actually fun, compared to speeding past them at 100km within a meter and into oncoming traffic.

Some of them however need to also start thinking about the other users perspective...just cause it's legal to do it doesn't make it advisable or well mannered! had a guy ride out in front of the car yesterday as my traffic light turned green...I told the missus "run that make the beast with two backser down!".

Bazz - Clutch in and rev it to 6000 right next to them....that usually gets the point across!

will do spider, im coming over on day sailing so get of the boat at about 7 ish  so should be nice ride through to frankstone
