The roads are awful, car drivers value other road users lives less than a dint on their gleaming bodywork. Only the other week a cyclist was killed on Rowden hill, he came a cropper on the narrow pavement, and went head on into an oncoming car. Sure he shouldn't have been on the pavement, but he probably felt safer there, than cars encroaching on his space on the road. They don't have this problem in some European countries, as bikes are given proper cycle lanes, not a lane in the glass/debris infested gutter. Have some sympathy for our 2 wheeled brethren.
