In that short time two drivers came speeding by, steering with one hand while chatting into handheld mobile phones which were clamped to their ears. I snapped them both but they’re blurred. The first is an Asian man in a red van (steering with his right hand, holding his phone with his left), the second is a twenty-something white male (steering with his left hand, holding his phone with his right).
Even if it was true that this was a fabulous facility for cyclists – and I shall show next week that it isn’t – any merits it had would be cancelled out by the sheer lawlessness and risk-taking of the yob drivers which cyclists have to share road space with.
