THERE are cars speeding in 20 and 30mph limits, driving on footpaths to park.

I speed down to London Bridge at 30mph on my bike but drivers still have to try to speed past me, breaking the law.

Every sport or pastime has a uniform. Cyclists have one made from Lycra.

We weave between stationary traffic rather than join the miles of traffic jams made by cars riding two abreast.

I was run off the road in Antrobus in July by a blue VW van.

The driver had to stop at the junction and the raging mad man inbetween filter lanes said cyclists are not welcome in Antrobus.

I was cycling along on my own, minding my own business. I am 74.
