Riding No Handed in London earns you a ticket?

[bikeworkshop]

I was in London last year to pick a bike up from South London and ride it back up to kings cross from Balham via Clapham Common . From what I saw cyclists had achieved a critical mass and there was a lot of them about . Multiple cyclists running red lights , a messenger guy falling foul of a taxi because the messenger had run a red light . There was plenty of embarrassing lawlessness by cyclists . Yes I have done all the bad stuff when I was younger , now I try to stick to the rules . I think if motorists saw most cyclists obeying the law we ( the cyclists ) would garner more respect and patience from them and find more acceptance . The saying that pissed me off at work was "shit happens " there is always a cause and if you can avoid that cause it's a lot better .

I agree with the sentiment,
but I don't think good cycle behaviour helps the
"sorry mate I didn't see you"

which is probably the most dangerous driver.

The e- scooters and illegal deliveroo stylie e-bikes are so random and chaotic in Bristol now that they are the new hate objects.

With some motorists, this spills over into careful cyclists, but I'd say mostly car behaviour is better.
