    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    It was definitely a Mercedes, well spotted! Glad I got some forum eyes on it, thank you! But as you say, not a clear plate and the cops probably won't be interested. I'd waste time making a statement.

    Fat nutcase rides at me on a ebike

    Every burger I ever ate flashed before my eyes. I knew lard would kill me eventually.

    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    "1 million uninsured drivers"?!? The roads are the Wild West! And there really is an organisation called Men In Black (MIB)? https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/357483/motorists-call-speed-cameras-check-tax-insurance-and-mot-details

    This MOT and Tax check... https://www.vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/ Says: _____ Vehicle details could not be found You searched for CL02TOY ____ The search result for "CLO2 TOY" was "Invalid" Maybe it's a fake plate, and this driver can do whatever the hell he or she wants? I'll be...

    I've been a tad jumpy since The Badger Incident

    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    This was very worrying. Night time close passes worry me more, the probablility of drivers driving drunk or drugged is much higher.

    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    He was closer than that. I'm not enraged, he was too close. Idiotically close, he could have waited two seconds.

    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    It was less than 1.5m away, therefore too close. There were a lot of them yesterday during the day, closer and faster. Driver behaviour doesn't seem to have changed at all.

    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    Motorists are the bigger threat! This car passed too close imho, but was slow enough for my awful camera to catch the plate perhaps. Looks like it might be "CLO 2 TOY" or "CL0 2 TOY"? I may switch to recording at 120 frames per second in future, to increase my chances of clear night time...

    Fat nutcase rides at me on a ebike

    I've got to watch out for ballistic michelin men too? I'd have spotted him instantly, if he'd had stripes. 6.32pm/pizza-o-clock

    Private E Scooters to be Legalised

    I had spotted this chap a few months ago, giving his daughter a lift on his electric scoooter. Now his missus has one too. Much cheaper than a family car, but extremely unsafe. Maybe she's supervising? She'd be healthier walking, cycling, or running. They trundled along and caught me up...

    I'll ask the cops to ferret him out!

    Fat nutcase rides at me on a ebike

    I wonder if he was weaving out of traffic, to weave back in again? He was (even more) round the bend at that point, and I doubt that I would have been able to see what he did next, even if I had looked instead of muttering "WTF!" to myself and shaking my head in disbelief. Such sizable momentum...

    Good deals at the moment?

    Bone infection is a worrying possibility, more common with lower limb bones. If I'd had a bone infection in my wrist, worst case scenario would have been a hook instead of a hand. It happened 18th November 2021, I think I'm clear. Keep your eyes open for symptoms and get checked regularly...

    Fat nutcase rides at me on a ebike

    That road is a little slim for traffic islands. Quite often at night, vehicles overtake me using the opposite lane. I was riding middle lane, having checked my rear view for cars behind me, so didn't see him at this point where he's keeping up with traffic. But then I see this blubbery...

    Fat nutcase rides at me on a ebike

    I wasn't expecting this at all. It could have ended badly for both of us. This fat nuttter on what looks like a stealth bomber (?) or something, suddenly rides at me from the other side of the road. He wasn't pedalling. There are clearer stills of this dangerous fat fool and whatever his...

    Country Lanes are 3x More Dangerous (Sunday Times)

    A brighter than usual headlight makes me feel a little safer on dark unlit roads. It lights up signs on turns ahead, which I hope alerts those drivers not texting, distracted by phone conversations, using Facefarce, watching TV or listening to loud music. BTW my bike is restricted to 15.5mph...

    Amazon launch their first UK e-cargo micromobility hub

    I had a horrible time. 260 boiled into coffee and no amount of sugar could reduce the earthy taste. Started "Coming up", as they say, felt like vomiting and then spent the next 12 hours being what I can only describe as "Haunted" by some very unhappy prescence who would not stop sending me...
