Wrong yet strangely right?

@SVXY Yeah....it wasn't illegal for a husband to rape his wife until 1991, does that mean it's not really bad now because it used not to be an offence? Dick has been punished under the law as it stood at the time of his offence and whining that the law used not to be so strict is ridiculous. As for the rest of your drivel, it's amazing how you appear not only to have been present but actually inside his head to know exactly what happened. "Had he seen her clearly he would not have driven so close to her would he and slowed down" - I should think every cyclist on this forum has experience of drivers who have seen them and not slowed down and driven as close as possible. There has been plenty of evidence here and elsewhere that a significant proportion of driving instructors have contempt for and frustration with cyclists, it's just as feasible that he enjoys doing punishment passes on cyclists and simply misjudged this one. As for "He did not do an illegal manoeuvre forbidden by signage on that road", shouldn't you make a beeping noise when you back up like that? You've gone from "he didn't make an illegal manoeuvre" to "there wasn't actually a sign forbidding his illegal manoeuvre". Hilarious. I suppose if he'd been drunk you'd be saying there wasn't a sign saying "don't drive drunk on this stretch of road"? I'm afraid your desperation to defend a person who has ruined a woman's life by committing a serious criminal offence either through staggering incompetence and negligence or a misjudged act of malice has made you look extremely stupid.
Well okay then. The spread of 270 degrees means there is no way to avoid having it blasting you in the eyes. I use a knog cobber front light with 270 degree spread and there's no way I'd put it on my handlebars.
@belugabob I fear that you ask too much of the pair of pathetic sad git trolls infesting this topic. They clearly derive some suspicious stimulation from supporting stupid and offensive anti-cyclist positions and hoping for vituperative responses which gain them even further stimulation.
@jackcycles I feel the need to ask you to think very carefully about the phrase "preferential treatment for one group of road users" and be honest about who that applies to. 🙄
@SVXY Careless driving causing serious injury was an offence only created in 2022, before then it was only treated as Careless driving with a maximum of a fine, penalty points and a driving ban. He must have missed her, maybe because of the sun or another factor but was still driving at below the 60mph speed limit on that road. Had he seen her clearly he would not have driven so close to her would he and slowed down, even if he should have looked ahead of him more keenly. He did not do an illegal manoeuvre forbidden by signage on that road
Think the idea to only get fore/aft with the shoe and not the cleat is very interesting! it can be fiddly the existing system or any, Time, Look etc.. not many shoes don't have movement in the shoe cleat bolts nowadays, maybe more systems will follow.. going with a Ti axle would be good but Shimano love a cup & cone axle 🤷 - wonder if they've fixed the wear which occurs at the front of the pedal body!
@Danbury presumably he ignored the Velominati's advice to "put it in the big gear"? Painful... Or did he feel need to prove his manhood after cries from youths implying he couldn't get his front wheel up?
Bianchi, Trek, Ridley to name a few also make CX bikes
And another Mail reader said: “She was swaying from left to right with each turn of her pedals. She was an accident waiting to happen.”' Funny how a Daily mail reader can ascertain that from a poor quality video, yet Mr Dick couldn't even see the cyclist, despite having the benefit of glorious, high-resolution, real life vision (not to mention the enhanced observation skills associated with being a driving instructor) Could we have a whip round, and buy him a conscience? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@tomlew Cervelo would be there too. And Canyon, though they haven't updated the Inflite in a while

no, although the dust on the tow path is not nice between toes!:) May consider and go bike spotting!
I bought a pair of Shimano
I bought a pair of Shimano SPD sandals last year. I had a septic toe, and the sandals meant I could keep cycling on the rollers.
One aspect of them is that the sizing is far closer to normal than Shimano’s other cycling shoes. Means the sandals I bought are enormous. OK for when I had a big toe in a bandage, but not so useful now.
Any Saquatch out there looking to buy some cycling sandals?
