Cycling up toward another compatriate this morning and thought...I've never seen him before at this time. He had all the gear on, 3 flashing lights on the back, reflective clothing - what a pleasant suprise I thought. i must say hello.
First thing, he jumped two red lights before I got to him - and as I passed and said 'morning' in my usual cheeky way, he completely ignored me because he was probably listening to the latest Take That album.
So then I thought, I know, I'll stop at the next red light to show him how it's done as I do with all RLJ's! What does he do........piles straight out onto the A57 from Reddish Road.
I never say anything, it's their life after all - but Jesus, I'm the one that got to ring 999 and pick their face up off the concrete if things go wrong.
He was just a disaster waiting to happen!
