I remember why I hate cycling…

To the motorists of Cardiff (and elsewhere).  Please remember these points…

  • Cyclists cannot stop instantly.
  • WE ARE NOT TELEPATHIC - use your indicators!

When you’ve done something stupid (like a 180 at a mini-roundabout, outside a school, without signalling), and a cyclist has had to take evasive action to avoid a crash, don’t look at the cyclist with an expression that seems to say “what are you doing?”

Remember, you’re nice and safe in a steel shell.  Cyclists aren’t.  If we collide, the chances are that you’ll barely feel it, and I’ll be dead.

As the UK authorities like to say to drivers “THINK!”
