What club ?
We have had complaints about bad group riding in my club (I wasn't there but it's believable) this resulted in a Facebook message to all members reminding them of their responsibilities while riding and how a good group operates.
I don't think you're in the same as me anymore?, but one further 'to the east'? (with mutual friends in it?)
I would like to echo what others have said about this.
Cycling to work in the 80's (when I first started commuting) and into the 90's, you really were putting your life in vehicle drivers hands. It really wasn't pleasant at all. There was very little cycle awareness amongst drivers and there was even less cycling infrastructure then there is now. There was no sanctuary of bus lanes, ASL's or cycle lanes. Cycling these days is 1000% better.
I recall those days too
Part of my commute to/from work (when I worked in Leeds, near Tetleys) was around a very busy junction of the M1 (now renamed M621
@DCLane ,
@Afnug,
@colly and a few others may know it)
'Bell Hill', where the A61 (Leeds-Wakefield road) descends towards Stourton, & has that 'off-slip running alongside it, for a few hundred yards, then becomes next 'on slip' is also to your left
Then even worse was the homeward journey; 3 lanes
Right as the 'on-slip' to the M1
Centre, for A61
Left for Pontefract/Castleford
And I wanted the centre lane
National speed limt, seemingly every other driver in the wrong lane
Nowadays the Hill itself is 40MPH, & a bus-lane, not a dual-carriageway
Then, there used to be the (not traffic-lighted) turn onto Wood Lane, by the JawBones!!
