I've only been cycling to work and back for 3 weeks now and its only a 15 minute ride. I have lights, a fluorescent vest, and a helmet to ensure my safety, and ensure road users are aware of me. There's not much more I can do to make myself visible. Yet some of the f**king idiot drivers around is absolutely unreal! Trying to overtake me when there are cars on the other side of the road, almost forcing me against the curb, and a woman even trying to get past with a double crossing literally feet away, so barely enough room for her to squeeze her own stupid f**king Honda CRV let alone me as well! It really isn't all cyclist fault injuries/deaths happen alot of the time, although obviously there are some absolute tools that think they are above the rules of the road when they are on a push bike. I think its a bit of both worlds though, and some re-education needs to be done, even if its a 30 second tv ad to make some of the older people aware of changing road conditions/users since they passed their tests.
