Out on Saturday cycling with a friend two abreast, as you do, chatting...Lost count at the number of times we were tooted and shouted at by car drivers, on quiet two way straight country roads, which goes to show how many drivers actually think it is your duty as a cyclist to travel in a single file in the gutter preferably.
I tend to get out of the way of tractor drivers, have you seen the size of the bally things, with lethal looking bit of tillers and ploughs attached to the front as well as those fork lift attachments to put their huge hay/straw bales on and their trailers. Possibly my least favourite time of year for cycling around E Lothian, harvest time, busy for the farmers, and all the detritus and mud that they deposit on the roads. Ah well, give and take.
