Excellent work so far and thanks for your efforts. How about a video section?

Cheers

For the amount of traffic, I'm inclined to say there are already plenty of sub-forums - just chuck the video in the appropriate one. Increasing numbers of forums just make it painful to navigate.

yes, they can be very surprised when you keep up with them - however, I will often let them past if I feel that a) they are dangerous (would prefer them to have an accident elsewhere!), or riding well, but fast, in which case it helps them... the tedious ones are those who overtake badly, but then ...

Ah, so for car drivers, the best roads would be any not mentioned on that site then - I find it very tedious having to be side-stepping motorcyclists coming towards me with their head and half their bodies on my side of the white line on left handers ... not to mention having to be constantly alert...

Particularly memorable was the Poxihen, February one year (early 2000s) in Norfolk where I soaked him twice the same evening :oops: . Photos still came out a...

You want a pact between all class of road user? Start there. Make it compulsory for cyclists to have read it and understand the rules that apply to them (cough, red lights, cough) and teach the pedestrian part in primary schools. Don't exempt the drivers. Get them to stay up to date with the HC too...
