Start of grumpy old man rant
I commute nearly everyday come sun, rain, wind, hail or snow. The beauty of cycling through the winter is that its 'quiet'...... I see maybe 7 or 8 other nutters cycling in all weathers. I started club riding in 1977 and it didn't take much explaining that we drive on the left, cycle on the left, walk on the left, go upstairs on the left, walk down corridors on the left.....in otherwords, we keep LEFT.
Now we've had a few sunny days and the fair weather cyclists have arrived in force this year. I've lost count of the number of times this week I've been riding towards another cyclist on a cycle path and they've tried to pass ME on my LEFT :facepalm: There have been a few near misses and this afternoon a complete front wheel to front wheel stop. I move to the left, they move further to the right....................
What is going on?
