From France, the land of overrated bread, Kronenbourg Anglaise (couldn’t resist trying it; kind of like Leffe + 1664, pretty horrible) , xenophobic cycling commentators and saussison for lunch every fucking day for ever and ever (except the last day when I resisted). Anyway, back to the usual rubbish…

Generally speaking I like to encourage people to cycle to work, it’s fun and environmentally friendly and so on, but now I’ve changed my mind; can all the people who’ve taken up cycling in the past couple of weeks either stop now or at least try to cycle in a manner that suggests you’re aware of your surroundings, and yes, that includes traffic lights. It’s very annoying to be trapped behined you for the whole fast bit of my morning journey and then when I finally get an opportunity to overtake your wobbling bulk you just ignore the traffic lights and get ahead again like some big fat idiot, as if the rules don’t apply to you. Grrrr! doesn’t even come close.
