Rather not thank you, might be okay over there but over here you'd never be able to use any cycle lanes

Yeah but are the USA ones attached to the axle at all?

Best way if you are still upright, is to just wag you finger at them. They probably wont be looking, but the cars behind will and they will give you plenty of room before overtaking. And not forgetting to give them a friendly thank you wave as they pass.

That geezer cannot ride through pedestrian barriers or underpasses and stuff. He needs a way to make it fold up vertically. How heavy is it? How does it effect the handling?

You could use it to carry a huge amount of stuff in panniers.

That junk would make you even more likely to get kno cked off your bike.

(Just one article, although I've seen the thought expressed a lot this week). As ever, I rather think novelty will wear off, and have little faith in the average UK motorist concentrating long enough to notice. Could be wrong though.

Don’t worry @Gasman I get the humour.

Agreed. Just one touch and he'd be off.

Maybe dress a doll up, stick it on the rack on the rear and add a baby on board card behind?

What a daft idea. Having metal 'spikes' sticking out the sides of your bike.

I'd use a laser to cut the bottom off the car...
