I used to live in London and commuted. Did everything in London by bike, on average 20 miles a day, 6 days a week. I only had two accidents, both in one week, both where drivers didn't see me and scooped me up onto the bonnet coming out of a side street... This was the week where I had decided to start wearing a high viz vest!!! That got binned after the second hit as it seemd to have made me into a prime target... Other than that 15 years of safe cycling there. It is all about your skill and attitude towards other road users, as Daz says...

Hann its not that they are tossers. Lots of clubmen have this mentality in cycling. I found it as a teenager trying my luck. One Team Director in the eighties told me to forget it cos I was a fat b./////rd. I was 13 at the time and riding a junior criterium in a local race. That guy was a top team director. Elitism was and still is a big part of being a top rider. Sorry but it is.
