Troubling one for me this morning. I rode in, left at 6am, takes me about 35mins.
Near the end of my journey, there is a long stretch of A road with an accompanying cycle path/pavement. It's in pretty bad condition, lumpy and bumpy, but not alot worse than the road next to it. Some commuting cyclists refuse to use it, as is their want (If i was on <25mm tyres, I probably wouldn't either), and incurr the wrath of the baying mob of cagers.
I used it, but I join it slightly later than people would like to avoid 2x turnings that make the cycle path deviate so that you are required to look behind you to see if it's safe to cross. So, I bypass that crap infrastructure design and join it just before it goes from 30 to NSL.
As i indicated and moved off the road onto the cycle path, a Honda SUV thing came alongside (still in the 30) with his FL wheel on the white line, almost scuffing the curb. They then accelerated away harshly as they got to the NSL sign. I can only take that as a punishment pass / "get on the cycle path you lycra ***". If you're THAT unhappy at 0630 on fairly uncongested roads, I really pity you.
Spoiled what was an otherwise nice ride in.
