For the past few days I've been driving to work for one reason or another (car required for shifting large pots about, mostly).
As I drove in, I spotted most of the guys I normally said hello to as the went in the opposite direction - and I kinda missed it. Funny that, as I don't even know them.
However, I did have a couple of incidents with cyclists completely ignoring the rules of the road. These weren't regulars, mind.
The first was a guy cycling the wrong way on the right hand side of the road, just as I was turning into a junction. I stopped in time, but he didn't even notice.
The second was (actually possibly the same guy now I think about it) a day or two later, and at a roundabout. He was cycling on the pavement, and as I entered the roundabout he hopped into the road, and straight across my path - I'm kinda glad I had clocked him and was ready for him to do something silly, because he just looked dead ahead, and paid no interest to what other vehicles were doing.
There's plenty of chat about RLJers on here... but how often do you see people do monumentally stupid things on bikes?
