As a total non- cyclist (I've had a flat since last summer... Can someone tell me how to fix it?) but someone who regularly rides their horse on the roads, I often hear people complain, or see threads about the general evilness of you people on silent horse eating monsters, and I wanted to take a minute to recognise the wonderfulness that is actually the majority of cyclists.
This summer I have not had a single cyclist pass me that hasn't let me know, by bell or voice, that they are approaching. Every one has then passed nice a wide around me, and many have slowed down too. Maybe it's just around my area, but any time anyone starts on a cyclist rant, I always stick up for you!
So thanks again to all the great cyclists I've met... And yes, I do carry my appreciation over to when I'm driving!
