Short sighted govt

[Zurdo]

Yes, I rode everywhere when I was a kid, never ever a problem. Still on a bike, but I don't ride on roads if I don't have to, even quiet ones are far more dangerous than when we were kids...I ride on cycleways, and love it. What's different ? The drivers for sure. Riding motorcycles everyday in the '70's and '80's, we lanesplit, passed everywhere - and the cars pulled over to allow us through. Nearly every car driver back then had started on a motorcycle, they saw you lane splitting and made room, these days the selfish drivers move over to block you. Same with cyclists, they actively make it hard. Of course there are those dickhead cyclists riding in groups, dunno what's going on there, they instantly turn into fuckwits.
