irate, but the flaunting of the road rules demonstrated by cyclists. Car drivers
start thinking it is unfair every time they see one ride through a red light,

suits, and unless everyones is following the same rules it starts to turn into
two sides – them against us. You start resenting cyclists because
they are not following the rules you are required to.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>What an idiot. <br>
I think what most of the nasty drivers forget is that for every cyclist on the
road its one less car for them to get stuck behind. However I must admit
the Dyers pass road is terrible to drive up / down especially with the Lycra
brigade riding two a breast up a thin winding road. No excuse for nocking
people off the road or for driving a hummer !<br>
