@n00dles71 When I was taught to ride a motorbike back in 1976 my instructor said you don't want this on your headstone. "He was right so right as he rode along But he's just as dead as if he were wrong" I'd have let the lorry go in that situation.

I would like to say a huge thank you to the Taxi Drivers of London. My son was stuck at Uni last night following the London Bridge attack, no trains were running & Uber were surging their prices five fold. A taxi driver gave him a lift 15 miles home and refused to charge him.

The horrific crash involving Romain Grosjean at the Bahrain Grand Prix shows the importance of fire proof overalls, crash helmets & 5 point safety harnesses. That's why we need to make these compulsory in all cars driven on the road. If it saves just one life, it'll be worth it.

Traditional speed cushions do not slow down motor vehicles because they are able to straddle them & be driven over at 30 mph. They also force cyclists either into the gutter or oncoming traffic. In Kennington @tfl cut them in half & moved them to the side @LambethCyclists

Why is it that some people don't want to drive behind a cyclist and must get in front of them? A van driver's impatience ended up with a Notice of Intended Prosecution being sent to his employers and it's most likely that he would have ended up with a £100 fine and three points.

This week I had a long chat with Mrs Net and we've agreed that before the end of the year I'll cycle the route that I would have taken that day, past where I was hit and onto my office. It'll probably be at the weekend, although I may take a day off to do it.

So commuting and a few long journeys amounts to under 1,000 miles a year. How far away from work so they live?

I love this. A man is interviewed about living next to a dangerous bend in the road.
