That was a close one Magna. Don't take this the wrong way but you seem to have quite a lot of 'incidents'. I've cycle commuted about 2/3 days a week in Glasgow for about 18 months and I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of 'incidents' I've had. Maybe my routes and commuting times are a bit quieter than yours. Anyway, stay safe and don't let the b@stards grind you down.

It's says if you can't say something nice then don't say nothing at all.
No, but God forbid if you ever have a different opinion to other members on here.
I have and a lot of the time I keep them to myself and let other people tell me *how* I should cycle.

I don't think there is any point to continuing this argument over differing opinions, I've criticised a few people over their riding styles, I'm not going to name names but some take it on board with good enough response while others consider they can do no wrong, it's the net though and a lot different from being face to face and it is easier to be combative on here, I think this has run it's course.

What have you criticised with other peoples riding?
I don't consider that I can do no wrong.
My number one objective is to get from A-B without an incident and if I do have an incident I look to see why it happened and how can I change it or stop it from happening again.The only thing is if I posted it on here I'd get all the criticisms from the perfects on here.
2008 was a good year for cycle commuting,the worst thing that happened was with the chain breakeage resulting in two spills..

I take criticism on my riding style in good stead, it's all fair and interesting to hear how others deal with given situations. Your offs were not down to the chain breakage but rather a deficiency in the design of the cycle you ride.
Why so defensive btw?

Back to Lee, let's not get too hard on him. I met him, and he's a nice chap in person and rides well. I now know how to take his posts and I have a much better insight into what he means, so perhaps we could have a bit of tolerance?
OTOH Lee, the whole social skills thing of posting - you can have some definite improvement there. You might not want to change it, but your posts are currently a bit like a wobbly cyclist riding along with a bright red light on the front of his bike, and being on the wrong side of the road. I hope you'll take that in the spirit in which I intend that, as a mate. (Oh, and before anyone says anything, I know I'm distinctly weak in social skills too).

Yes it went right over my head.
If you think you are weak in social skills BM then so am I.
