Craig when it happens....).

Yup, always move over for bikes when i'm in the car, everytime. It's rare i don't spot them coming and it's funny when i say "heres another bike" and everyone in the car is looking around saying "where?" as i've spotted them a mile off

Allways make room when I'm in the van, its nice to get a thankyou every now and then.
I will try to thank drivers who make room and for those that dont I wish them more jams. As for London trafic I'd sooner not be caged in, two wheels is best

Not everyone though can handle inner city traffic (especially London traffic)

I used to ride through it on a cb500 (works bike) but then I got the GPz900R and everyone thought I was crazy riding that instead of the cb500.. But I enjoy the traffic probably just as much as I enjoy no traffic.. It's a challange, a totally different riding style and if you can master it without resorting to breaking the law (like wrong side of bollards..etc..) it will improve your riding and road sense..

As I was bimbling home tonight I passed back and forth beside a gent on what looked like a Meccano bike. It made the Major look grand and impressive. After waving each other in and out of the traffic several times he pulled up alongside me in Brixton, and with a huge grin on his face said, "Don't you just love biking....especially on a day like this?".

So this meccano bike??? I'm trying to picture it. Hand-made out of angle iron and dexion?

When I lived on Brixton Rd in 1970 there was an old bloke with a push-bike covered with protest posters always riding up and down. Anyone remember him? Can't remember what he was protesting about tho.

[StumpyFingers]

He's spot on too

We have recently got a car (need one for my disabled niece) and have been taking her to Flamingo Land etc and have been sat in traffic quite a few times now and i don't like it. I'm not used to it, i don't want to be there, i hate it! It drives me crackers... Don't know how anyone could do that on a regular basis...

Give me my bike anyday

When I am stuck in a jam on the Caring Cross Road, Friday and Saturday nights I wish I had my bike.
I worked it out that if I carry each passenger one at a time It would still be quicker than the bus.

Yes, that's it. No fairings, just frame. More a scooter than a bike I suppose. Effectively see through and itsy bitsy wheels. And one very happy rider.

No protest posters. I ride through Brixton most days and haven't seen the cycle man, but will keep my eyes open.
