Most cyclists also drive; many drivers also cycle

I don't get this us and them thing. There are w**kers on all forms of transport, and literally everyone would be safer if literally everyone else just chilled the f**k out a bit and didn't drive/ride like a cokehead after five espressos.

Espressi?

Looking where you're about to drive/ride to is a Good Idea and I wish it would catch on. A bit of patience with those who ride bikes or motorbikes would also be a Good Idea.
