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?

They'd have a job riding mine :-)

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.

You sod. :-) You'll start him off on another tedious thread.
