DRIVERS OF HGVS

Would there have such uproar or would this be have made the news if it didn't involve a bike lane? Presumably the other road works would have happened anyway but seen as a minor inconvenience. But cyclists.

"Specialist Met Police units that investigate fatal collisions involving DRIVER OF HGV’s and London buses..."

It's well known that innocent bystanders, and the driver of the vehicle veering off the road and into them, have equal culpability.

This is interesting (that most reports come from cyclists) as I thought CyclingMikey said that the majority of dangerous driving reports are from other drivers. Not sure if he meant for the Met police (London) or country wide. So it would be good to get countrywide stats and breakdowns.

Right. And you're supposed to do what, exactly, when you spot someone driving straight at you?

It's not really even taxpayers money. Calling it that is part of the continued attempt by the right to frame public finances in the same way as personal finances in order to persuade people to support spending cuts.

We can probably also predict the UCI taking a nice chunk of change to put their logo on kit so it can be used in the peloton.

I'm going to defend Steve slightly here. I disagreed with him on the larger front lights, where in a given "programme" you an still cycle through high/medium/low/flashing modes, which is plenty to cover most use cases, without needing to change into a different programme. But with these small lights, each "programme" only consists of a single constant level and single flashing level. And with only six options in total, cycling through all of them wouldn't seem too onerous. I certainly find with my TraceR, if I'm riding by myself I'll typically use Programme 1 (the brightest option), but if I'm riding with other other people , I want to drop the power down to a lower level, which does mean changing programme. Given my usual cycling club meeting point is ~20 minutes from home, this means starting in P1, changing to P3 when I get to the meeting point, then changing back to P1 for the ride home. Again, you do get used to it and it's not the end of the world, but it ends up being more faff than just cycling through a few more options, as you would with pretty much any other light. I'm also going to agree that the button can be a bit hard to find, especially with gloves. I don't think it would be a problem for a front light where you can see what you're doing, but trying to press the button on a seatpost-mounted TraceR whilst riding can be tricky! All that said, my TraceR, like my Sirius, is still going strong after several years. I have various other lights knocking around, but the TraceR is still the one I reach for first.

I did not want to click in so I'm assuming that Lancaster Police are more interested in catching the person who sprayed the dog faeces than the person who didn't clear it up. Spraying it makes it easier to spot so that someone else doesn't tread in it, helps authorities identify it so that they can clear it up, and maybe, just maybe, the perpetrator will see it and feel a tiny bit ashamed. Shame on you Lancaster Police, but then that is what others here have been saying for a long time.
