Two hands on the handlebars means your in great position for a right or left hander from somebody. Always worries me when I go past a group of neds. A wrestling-style clothesline too. No chance of getting out the way of that.
They'd hit me, and I'd topple over, and they [censored] would have my bike.

I haven't seen any Neds in YEARS! Where DO you live? And have you tried riding further out?

Either duck, or ride into them hard using your shoulder or elbow for maximum effect, then leave quickly. :-)

David, I think you worry too much. I don't mean just about this, but nearly all of your threads is a "cycling is dangerous" style post.
"Worst Injury?" "Man attacked" "Do people fly over handlebars?" "wise to cycle in Feburary?"
and so on.
I suggest you either give cycling up for your peace of mind, or just don't worry about it all and get on with it.
