h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

i am a infrequant cyclist but did note on a BBC radio station that the people presenting had been spat at while cycling in london and had variose other bad things happen.I AM APPALLED ..Any views????

I think you want this to be in ask h2g2.
Is there someone who can move it?

Not sure if you are going to see this since the conversation is quite some days ago...

I cycle everyday for at least one hour and 20mins a day, and living in Oxford means that there is so very much traffic everywhere most of the time.

Cycle lanes on Pedestrian pavement does not work - I am frequently ignored by people when they are actually standing on the cycle lane - I can't leap my bike off onto the road because there are much traffic on the main road - they tend to shout at you or give you long, evil looks...Even if you are going at a fair speed - say about 13miles per hour, say, they still just stand there and stare at you...

Cars are bad - I got hit by a car pulling out suddenly from a side road while I was cycling on the main road...My bike was completely ruined and I still have scars all over my knees and arms even after 3months...

I don't know if you have tried cycling in London but the cyclist and drivers seem to be at war against each other - they are mad...and very rude to each other...
