Do the 1 in 3 drivers who think cyclists should be banned form public roads cause a stigma for the rest of the drivers? How about drivers who speed? Or yell at cyclists? Do they cause a stigma?
Yes they do cos I treat all drivers as stupid angry monkeys. Sadly we don't live in your Utopian world where bad bully drivers are stopped before anything bad happens - - - - meanwhile on planet earth the / stupid / angry monkeys are still behind the wheel.

I don't think I have ever, anywhere on this forum, suggested that anyone lives in such a Utopian world.

On the other hand as a car driver I have seen two cyclists riding two abreast having a good old natter while wobbling out over the white line deliberately holding up traffic, even looking back and scoffing at the drivers. I just sat behind like a good boy waiting cos I know they are entitled to do that now. Other drivers behind me were getting very frustrated. After about two miles of this the wobbling wads of Lycra turned left at the next junction. I thought that behaviour doesn't endear cyclists to other road users.
Wait till you see what some drivers do. Some of them are unlikely to be getting hugs from me (and hundreds of bereaved families probably aren't too keen on them).

And by-the-way:
I have seen two cyclists riding two abreast having a good old natter...
cos I know they are entitled to do that now
When did any laws change on this? Can you please refer me to a past law/regulation preventing cyclists from riding 2-abreast (with or without natter?)
Thanks.

On 17th November she posted (link to Twitter post)

"Back to @NHSForthValley for a 7 week X-ray & checkup. The fractures are healing well during this phase so I can continue & progress with rehab. Another follow up X-ray & check up due in 6 weeks time. Slow but steady wins this race 😬"

Can't believe they haven't got that shytester yet. Surely someone will know who that is?

This is almost the same vehicle setup that nearly did me about 2 months ago
