I pulled back from the forum a while ago as some of you will remember. Having popped back in, I now remember why I did it.
I just don't have the time and energy for this and so I am bowing out for good.
There are lots of great people on this forum, but there are also those that post purely to have a little fun at others expense. Whilst I am used to that and it is just an annoyance these days it is an annoyance I can't be bothered with any more. I'm enjoying writing my blog, tweeting and writing the book. So I'll stick to that from now on.
As for the other video posted with the 'lady' who hit my arm. Yes I swore. Yes I saw red mist. Yes it does not show me in my best light, but I have always strived to show cycling warts and all, and that includes my own warts. That is my guiding principle, if I am willing to show others mistakes I must be willing to show my own.
On that particular video I perhaps did not have the best road position, but did that give her the right to skim past me? I was in front of her, in clear view and the more vulnerable road user. Anyway, I'm sure there is a 50 page thread on this particular video somewhere, so look that up and resurrect it if you are interested.
Anyway, that's me for forums. If you want to know what I get up to, follow me on twitter. If you don't like who I am or what I do, then don't bother. To ensure I'm not tempted back I'll be asking Admin to de-reg me.
Safe cycling folks.
