[QUOTE="Lulu9101112, post: 2175181, member: 409636"] Cycling isn’t that dangerous as people think, yeah there’s idiot drivers but that’s the same as if you were driving a motor veichle. As long as you know the rules, can read the road and the have the right gear. I also have a cycling camera for safety. Ps: I hate riders that don’t wear helmets and wear dark chlothing with no lights around dark hours or dawn or dusk. Also if you ever fall off, if you don’t get hurt get back on as soon as possible as then you won’t get scared. I’ve been cycling for around almost 2 years I’m only 20, have had a lot of close calls and got hit back on the the 1st of June because as I was a leaving a shop cycling off I got reversed into. I have been clipped a few times but manage to stay on Also don’t argue with anyone drivers or people as some people will just be odd. Like the other day I had 2 things happen. It was dusk and I just finished getting few bits from town as I was unlocking my bike this deliveroo cyclist kept telling me to turn off my bike lights as it wasn’t dark. Lol I just said it’s getting dark and to go away. He kept saying it. I just cycled ignoring his comment. The same day at the end just few mins before I got home this car was waiting to turn left as soon as I got closer it pulled out (not giving out), i managed to just swerve around it there was tiny bit of room since luckily the side road was a hill and I was going at the right speed. If I had been going slower or the driver on the side road pulled out. Or there was more traffic at the time I would of caused an accident drivers sometimes. Like it’s not like he couldn’t see me even though it was dusk I have 2 front lights on plus a helmet front light, 3 rear lights plus a rear helmet light, reflective chlothing even my bike has Reflectly paint perhaps he was on his Phone lol. But that was supper close [/QUOTE]
