Writer from Exeter says he was angry at a third close overtake that he started to think again about the "cyclists don't pay road tax" stuff again

If we all joined a cycling club and produced this to prove we do ride bikes - then it would prove how many of us ride bikes - we become a statistic as well. That alone proves we exist!
Ooooh! sarcasm!
I must say I like this idea.
I use my club membership to get a discount on my VED and how do they know I use the car and not ride to work!

No wonder it's the prize winner of the week
But I love his fave "Near Miss" Brilliant! The irony!

By the way, my fave near miss recently was from the council's special needs school bus that nearly shoved me inot a hedge as it passed. As I straightend up I saw a sticker on the back window;
GIVE CYCLISTS ROOM I'd report him mate. Looks like the bus driver has special needs ... imporiving his observation skills!
