    On my commute home from work theres a guy riding towards me who rides the wrong side of the road just as you approach the flyover. Oncoming vehicles will only see him at the very last second as they approach the brow of the hill. I,m convinced that one day they will be scraping him off somebodies windscreen.Now he is an idiot.

    All excused if he's wearing hi-viz and a helmet though :roll:

    No he is not in Hi Viz he rides a city bike with straight handlebars and he is dressed in work clothing not cycling attire.
    The law of averages says it has to happen sooner or later.

    You'll be surprised, that can often be the safest route for someone to ride on because they see you directly on. Let's just hope that seriously unlucky timing doesn't happen and a speeder comes flying over the bridge. Often the dummies survive!

    I'm not sure Darwin saw it that way. Assume he was must have been wrong and that's why the world is such a fucked up place :lol:
