I am talking about the drivers and their behaviour toward me on the road.ColinOldnCranky wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 10:19 pm
I think you are being a little generous in "small minority". A minority maybe. But SMALL? No. If someone mentions something annoying about a cyclist that day, I find that I am usually a lone voice in presenting an alternative view whereas those observers who hold adverse beliefs on road space, registration, breaking road laws are plentiful.
I live in rural Vic.
Thousands of road Ks.
The drivers who buzz past me dangerously close at highway speeds are a small minority.
Enough to make me chose my route with care, use a radar, rear light, bright clothing etc, though yes
The minimum distance passing law does appear to have made some improvement here at least. How long it will last I don't know.
I have the OK from my wife for a gravel bike.
In the market for one.
Less traffic, more safe routes.
