I ride a Dawes Karakum which is comfortable but heavy. Hub dynamo,

puncture kit, tube, tool kit. Commuting adds wallet, phone, ID card
and clothing. Sometimes I have been tempted to add a copy of the
Highway Code to show to motorists who insist cyclists are required by
law to use cycle paths but ASL's are optional for bus and taxi
drivers.

I've considered printing out a few of the sections that the more
egregiously ignorant motorists need to understand, so I can just stick
them in a window or under a wiper, the better to inform them of their
error.

That's an idea.

And perhaps it would be an idea to have some printed copies of Rule 168:

"... If a driver is trying to overtake you, maintain a steady course and
speed, *slowing* *down* if necessary to let the vehicle pass. *Never*
*obstruct* drivers who wish to pass..."

Just like all the motorists didn't do in this vid.

Bloody hell! Cyclists who ride like that deserve to be taken off the
roads. That video was insanity!.
