I drove up to Midlothian last evening and encountered several cyclists with LED spotlights fixed to their handlebars some of which were set to shine straight at oncoming drivers. I found them quite dazzling especially those who had two of the same. I used to be a cyclist myself including long distance cycling but I think we have a new mutant type of cyclist on the roads now. Sometimes you will come up on a gang of them riding two and three abreadst who will not "oil up", as we used to say, into single file. I have seen heavy lorries held up for a mile by this behaviour. And of course the Alien sunglasses and the fancy dress.
Now the latest thing from the cycling terrorists is that any collision between a bike and a car will result in the driver automatically being held to blame unless he or she can prove otherwise! The loonies are over the parapet and swarming around us!
