BEING a passenger on two school runs on Monday covering the best part of 30 miles in total, I was interested to note that among the very heavy traffic I counted 18 cyclists all who showed no hindrance or inconvenience to any motorists.

Equally important those many car drivers that needed to pass those cyclists did so with respect and courtesy.

This poses the question that perhaps the people who seem to show much anger and indeed hostility to cyclists may perhaps be just aggressive to all road users and just use the cyclist to mask this fact.
