He still has problems with short-term memory.<br /><br />Most cyclists I know (including myself) respect road rules. I have noticed that some cycle couriers break the rules and give everyone else a bad name.<br /><br />Agree need to be really careful out there.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665359545915333818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31288959.post-70969486114556463422009-07-06T10:51:58.516+12:002009-07-06T10:51:58.516+12:00I have almost been hit by several cars..cycling is...I have almost been hit by several cars..cycling is by far the most dangerous sport I've partaken in (and I played rugby!)Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12714186023859147332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31288959.post-69134715338049884202009-07-06T09:57:06.535+12:002009-07-06T09:57:06.535+12:00I agree re: systematic difference, but am surprise...I agree re: systematic difference, but am surprised by your first sentence- my experience of cyclists must be very different to yours!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650652034813454379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31288959.post-25220354540914738962009-07-06T09:33:14.479+12:002009-07-06T09:33:14.479+12:00Given that most cyclists don't seem to think r...Given that most cyclists don't seem to think road rules apply to them, I'm surprised that few are caused by cyclists.
