I am a cyclist and I've been hit by a car.

Sadly, too many motorists find cyclists to be in the way of their speedy commutes in a cocoon of two ton hunks of metal. And they grouse when cyclists take greater precautions to ensure they're not run over.

I detest these people. And when I find them, I give them a piece of my mind.

I know I can't change everyone's mind, but I want them to hear it, want them to know that it's not funny and that maybe, just maybe I'll get them to change their behavior.

So, I'm a bit sad since your voice will no longer be around. That some idiot might not get a blast of bicycling venom to shake them up.

Be will Chris, you'll be missed for cycling and green and everything in between.

Come back to a service which has spent the last 24 hours berating me for the impudence of leaving? I still respect FF and many of the people there. But I'm not going to indulge co-dependence.
