The mirrors came with the bike.

I never had anything overtake me on a crossing before, but I see that driving here has got worse. You should have seen (and might well see) what lunacy I had heading at me today.

I ride both motorcycles and pushbikes (not as well as Guy Martin on either !) Honestly chaps spare a thought for those. who peddle, its, ten times worse. Last week the sun came out, Mrs Posh in her white Audi pulled out on me at a junction. Hit her door hard with front wheel of my pushbike.
I know what you're thinking, surely she apologised and used those immortal words "never saw you mate", did she f...k, she laid into me for damaging her new car, its hard to argue when your picking yourself up off the tarmac!
Always use my GoPro when out on Enfield, worth its weight in gold.

Rusky, It's a bit like that around here. lower-middle management types with posh cars who seem to regard two wheel riders as the shit on their shoes. You know the ones, the "I'm right because I say so" brigade, who flout or totally ignore the road rule because 'they weren't written for them'.



Surprisingly, we have a very low accident for cycling down our part of the A25. I asked a guy who actions for driver awareness and cycle safety and he explained that none of the local guys dare use the A25 and that's why. I have gone back to headlamp on and wearing a hi viz vest. It seems to help.
