Years ago, I used to cycle a lot in London, quickest way to get places a lot of the time, and a nice antidote to being behind the wheel. I had a few close shaves with inconsiderate or unobservant motorists, but the only time I suffered any damage was after being hit by another cyclist. When I read reports of cycling fatalities in the capital now, it seems a lot of them are down to poor road sense, passing trucks on the inside when they’re turning left, jumping lights, that sort of thing. When I moved out to the country, I did cycle for a bit, but narrow twisty lanes with vehicles perhaps travelling faster than they should, made me feel like an accident just waiting to happen.
