Hello all, de-lurking, many thanks all for the fine reading material, on
behalf of all cycling lurkers
I've just been unhappily forced to commute by car for the last fortnight (for the first time in
about a year), due to a spill from my bike after hitting a protruding bit of kerb, and a
consequently hammered knee, today was the first day it was bendy enough to start cycling again
(hooray! - it's great to be back out in the fresh air).
Can anyone give me any pointers to good knee-care advice for cyclists?
The other part of this question is due to the fact that when traveling by bike, I'm able to avoid
most major road junctions, and when I come to a tricky one, I'll get off and go on foot - having got
hit last year by someone trundling through an amber light I'm quite cautious - so when having to
drive for a couple of weeks I was _amazed_ at the number of motorists that just _drive_ through red
lights - not the classic Amber Gamblers, there are apparently a large number of car drivers that
assume that red lights simply don't apply to them. Any thoughts?
Cheers all,
Neil
