Geez, I think Col has said half a dozen times that he passes wide when over taking cyclists, and if he can't overtake safely then he don't. Surely that's good enough and acceptable by most normal people?

Yet he seems oddly recalcitrant when asked how far he passes, and he's defined reasonable distances for passing as unrealistic.

Secondly if Col does not feel intimidated when vehicles overtake him when riding his bike then why should that mean he's doing anything wrong? Have you ever seen him ride? If not how do you know his positioning is terrible?

Because he's told us where he rides, he's told us that he's constantly overtaken closer than three and a half feet. He's in a poor secondary position, needlessly endangering himself. Thats how we know.

And lastly, sorry but until you get voted leader of the world, you do not have any rights to tell people they cannot ride or drive on the public road simply because of your very biased opionions!

Advising others to stop doing something wrong is perfectly reasonable. His cycling position is wrong. His description of a safe overtaking distance for a tall cyclist as 'unrealistic' is unacceptable. If thats his attitude, it would be better all round for him not to be out on the roads.
