After that, though the main roads were reasonably clear fairly quickly, I knew the road narrowing caused by the snow and ice would lead to some very unpleasant riding conditions. <br /><br />Experience tells me many people driving cars won't adjust their driving style to the conditions and that cycling on the drier/clear line on the road, therefore, leads to more dangerous overtaking, with less escape room for me to move into.<br /><br />Please keep up the excellent writing!<br /><br />IjonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828166865647185633.post-62832362354757935822018-03-04T07:43:25.040+00:002018-03-04T07:43:25.040+00:00Hi Robert.

Have just read your latest ...Dear Ranty Highwayman<br /><br />Have just read your latest snow blog. I am relatively new to looking at your blogs regularly. But as a pedestrian campaigner, I find them wonderfully informative and helpful. <br /><br />And I particularly admire the mix of huge expertise and good values you bring to bear. Of course, by 'good values', I mean I agree (!!) with your commitment to social justice and the legitimacy of all 'co-users' of our streets -- pedestrians, cyclists, shoppers, commuters using buses and other public transport, as well as the drivers of vehicles (especially those who, to do their daily work, still need to drive).<br /><br />Please keep up your good work.<br /><br />Robert Molteno Robert Moltenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12592512284302344397noreply@blogger.com
