Anyway, here's a helpful video for anyone interested in the cyclist's perspective of close passing: youtu.be/9kgPt-lNYGY?...

Even with this short journey, which I only make once or twice a week, more often than not there's *something* that puts me off ever doing it again. I can normally just ignore the abuse and dodgy overtakes but yesterday really did take the piss.

I'm a purely functional cyclist, I only really do it to commute on the days I work in south Liverpool as the 3 mile journey is 15 minutes whether I go by bike or car and I like the fresh(ish) air in the mornings.

... mobile phone use or just general shit driving. Either way, one false move by either of us as he passed and I could have been knocked off, injured, maybe killed like Keith Hornby was, tragically in Huyton last week.

Without a doubt, the driver could see me well ahead of him staying in lane to continue straight after the railway bridge, I don't know if it was punishment for having the audacity to filter past him to the bike box at traffic lights about half a mile earlier ...

Oh my God me tooooo. Blocked around 20 Sarahs this afternoon! I only joined the other day and this is the only real turn off so far. (Except individuals/organisations I want to follow that aren't here yet but I'm confident that'll resolve over time!)
