And I too get annoyed with red-light running and wrong-side passing cyclists. However in the great scheme of things you should get more annoyed with structural inequalities rather than individual misbehaviour. In the case of urban transport, it's the attention and money the car conduits get at the expense of cyclists that should get your goat. </p> <p>When I'm cycling on a street that has been narrowed to single track by the cars parked on it, and some guy in a van is impatient because I'm holding up him up, why doesn't he get impatient with the car storers who have narrowed the street on which we would have co-existed quite happily. </p> crowriver on "“Drivers and cyclists' mutual loathing must end - Alastair Dalton“" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20280#post-334123 Fri, 17 Jul 2020 14:43:04 +0000 crowriver 334123@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nice Way Code v.999.99 </p> gembo on "“Drivers and cyclists' mutual loathing must end - Alastair Dalton“" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20280#post-334122 Fri, 17 Jul 2020 14:30:58 +0000 gembo 334122@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Presumed liability at least.
