Now I'm all for encouraging cycling, but sometimes, you really do wonder about the lack of common sense of some people. Today coming out of Sheffield on the A57 ( always a very very busy road for trucks ) towards the M1, three people on catalogue specials with helmets balanced nicely on the back on their heads, were wobbling round the roundabout, while the others waited on the exit of the roundabout for them to catch up. With 38 tonners just missing them. Also awhile ago there was a group of about 15 stopped on the road while cycling down the A38 by Burton on Trent. A 70mph dual carriage way. Ffs it's no wonder some vehicle drivers have such a bad opinion of people on bicycles. I should add that on both occasions, the riders were of an age where they didn't have to worry about the 9 to 5 anymore.
