What I'm mostly worried about when on a cycle.

[[email protected]]

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 bastards 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.
