Dear sir

I have also sat a RL waiting for a car to come a set it going and at ped xing with no pedestrians - it just one of those things. Sometime ( rarely) you just have to RLJ, but only when no-ones around.. The worst was earlier in the year when I did my first ever sportive and the group I was with totally ignored RL's , very worrying but the only way to keep up with them was to do what they did. No excuse however....

One day they will become a RTA statistic .More fool them .

Except we'll have to pay to scrape them off the road.

Still, lets not add to the casualty list by getting your blood pressure up. I swiftly concluded that I could have an argument every day of my commute with other road users. Its simply not worth the trouble now.

Off Topic, and I hope you don't mind me asking, but how do you cope with looking back? I ask because I was born with much worse vision in my right eye than my left - most of the time I don't notice it but it is a problem when looking over my right shoulder... (I HATE pulling out of slip roads (in a car) because of having to make that final check over your shoulder).

I sit further out and look over my left most of the time. I have excellent peripheral in my left eye and can take in more information with my peripheral vision than most (been tested). I only look over my right when I absolutely have to and am in a position to twist my body around and have a good enough look that I can analyse exactly what's there and what's likely to be there during the manoeuvre.


You just learn ways to deal with it.

RLJing seems to be the in subject at the moment!

Especially in Granton, although its not usually a pedal cycle
