| In response to your rant against cyclists in general, I - a long-time Chiswick resident and cyclist - could rant against motorists in general and how they use their indicators as if it was an expensive option on their car, they open their door without ever checking first and they overtake cyclists, presumably hoping to gain 3 meters before they're stuck in the queue again, so close that we could shake hands without having to extend our arms... But that's usually the last thing you feel like doing with such a motorist! I'd absolutely love to be able to ride only on cycle lanes, if only motorists didn't park on them and I didn't end up having to slalom between cycle lanes and parked cars, which is actually more dangerous for both motorist and cyclist.AND it is a big AND, there are very few cycle lanes, in Chiswick like in the rest of London. If you want cyclists off the pavements and on cycle lanes, then add your voice to campaigns that call for better facilities for cyclists, any progress in that direction will benefit the whole community, pedestrian, cyclists and motorists alike...
