OK - this is a bit of cooling off.letting off steam and just general needing to get it out - have just put this email out to all staff members at the school I work at. (I'm on a mtb and have a paralysed left hand so don't tend to do too fast - some formatting has been removed.)
All
I would like to say thank you to the member of staff/relative of member of staff that nearly hit me on my bike on Tuesday at 5:30pm when they tried pulling out of Gurdon’s. I saw you look directly at me, and then still pull out.
I was travelling at over 20mph at that point, (can easily get up to and over 35mph on the downhill sections). I did not appreciate being cut up so closely – you might not have thought it was too close, I did.
I would also like to point out that contrary to popular belief, cyclists (and for that matter ICT Technician’s) are human beings and killing them is just not playing fair!
However, if you can make any suggestions as to how I can make myself more visible to you, in addition to my hi-viz waterproof (below) and front light with brand new batteries (that afternoon), I am all ears.
(embedded picture won't link - but it is the yellow one of this link)
Thank you
Emma
PS – why didn’t I put this out straight away? I needed to cool off to keep the email polite – sarcasm, on the other hand, is my way of dealing with it.
