Door mirror wins.

That's settled then.

Nah Phil,

Put them in quotes and see - much more accurate.

...And so is the way of the internet. A thread about inconsiderate drivers becomes a discussion of terminology.
Another on eco villages becomes an argument about BNP sympathisers.

I do wonder whether we should even have 'threads'.
Surely a knot of random postings would work just as well

Nothing common about me

obviously. I don't think anyone else on here goes past knocking wing mirrors off.

Just trying to ride out you obvious recourse to personal insults. Please go ahead, get it out of your system. sure you will feel better for it. (same way taking out mirrors can make me feel better)

I'll rejoin the convo when you have.

This may be a shock, but not everyone obeys the law 100% of the time.

I bet a fair few people have gone through a red light on a bike at some point in their life. I know I have, and I used to (very) occasionally punch off a few wing/door mirrors (albeit whilst riding a motorbike and wearing thick leather gloves with lots of padding over the knockles).

Fair play for mknash to post what he did, and take the insults thrown at him, and listen to what the vaguely rational people had to say and "take it on board" (to use a horrible managementspeak term).

all hail mknash

I've only smashed 2 door mirrors........

Both with my shoulder.....both when I've been hit by a car ... Transit van ones hurt though - they are quite big.

Got home with me and all cars in one piece. Gonna try the advice on taking a different route tomorrow, all depends on where there are least potholes (they don't like paying to adequately pave Gorton). Could probably do with a longer run anyhow, only 6.2 miles at moment, was thinking of pushing it to a round 10, think I can do that by using some of "the fallowfield loop" which should stop me coming across so many cars.
