The Big Vote

I'd rather cycle will always run a vote for its readers to place their views. You can leave future issues on our message board. The first vote produced the following results.

What’s the worse thing about cycling?

• Car Fumes 18%
• Getting cut up by cars on roundabouts 10%
• Cars overtaking you and then turning left making you slow down 36%
• People opening their car doors without looking 13%
• When you want to turn right but drivers will not let you pull out 23%

If you have a cycling issue why not leave it on our message board and we will put it to the vote!

A clear winner is the seriously annoying habit of most drivers. The will do everything possible to try and overtake you, avoiding the near collision with you to slip through the tinniest of gaps and just as they manage the dangerous overtaking manoeuvre, they indicate left and almost knock you off your bike and make you slow down.

Drivers - If you are one of the guilty ones, please listen to our voice. Don't do it!!!
