IAM Letters Page At It Again
While I appreciate what IAM attempt to do for driving standards, it seems to me that someone at the top really doesn't like cyclists. 10 years ago they actually had a cycling division and published a cycling handbook.
Anyway, they've just let another Nigelesque letter through their letters page. Amusingly accompanied by a picture of a cyclist in Hi-Viz.
Fancy helping composing a witty reply?
Be safe, be seen
Cyclists' lack of concern for their safety worries me; whilst most wear helmets, too many
wear dark clothing. The Highway Code advises wearing reflective accessories, fitting white front and red rear lights etc, but most riders fail to do this. Why are they allowed to contravene the law that is for their own safety? Cyclists have every right to expect other road users to look out for them, yet they are not prepared
to comply with a legal requirement to keep them safe.Lawrence Walton

Do manufacturers still do "year" bikes in the same way as they used to? Pretty sure my mate/LBS owner told me they'd moved away from that model.
