Motorised vehicles pay a tax to use the roads because of the wear and tear they cause; said roads being built for horse-drawn traffic, and cyclists enjoying the same categorisation as horses...
..ergo, cyclists have more right to be on the roads than cars!
Having said that, I thought I was going to witness a tragedy of one kind or another this morning; anyone who knows the Balcombe Road between Worth and the left turn for Turners Hill will appreciate the potential for danger along that stretch of road...
...today a cyclist had just crested the hill before the drop down to the Cowdray PH when a rapidly approaching car overtook him; considering the car in front of me was level with the approaching cyclist at the time, and had he not swerved to the nearside in time, the overtaking car was a good three feet our side of the (solid) white line!
How everyone got away with that one I do not know!
Whilst cyclists have every right to be on the road there are some I just would not use! :|
