You need to get out more. Vancouver is also a city. Yeah, and in another country nearly halfway round the planet... Meanwhile in another country altogether and seemingly worlds away... In the Western Isles I was not once passed in an unsafe manner. Sometimes I wanted them to come past as I was expecting it but no the buses and trucks all waited patiently until they could get past leaving me a wide space as per the highway code. Back here in London my default position is becoming "claim the lane" not least because the roads are getting so chewed up by the buses that riding in their wheel tracks is a bit like riding on cobbles. I had an unfortunate incident today in Lower Grosvenor Place occupying the centre of three lanes (left lane turns left) when my chain fell off as I snicked it into top gear. But the car behind wasn't on the horn straight away and he did notice my paddling (slowing down) signal even if he was a little close behind me for my comfort. I think I need to invest in some chain guards for my 42T ring which I have put on my Birdy to make it possible to get up Real Hills [TM] -- Phil Cook looking north over the park to the "Westminster Gasworks" |
