Reg - you and I have been on the road long enough now to know that there are pr*cks in/on every form of wheeled transport (and I'd say some folk shouldn't even be in charge of a pair of shoes). Trouble is, those who don't share our own particular choice of transport at the time will always stand out. If you want to see the worst cycling, it's worth spending a bit of time in Cambridge (where I'm from). Not good for the old BP. :D

I would say though that certain 'types' do gravitate to a certain type/brand of vehicle be it motor or pedal-powered.

Funny how we can gravitate to our own small interest groups, and everyone else becomes 'them'. I'm not sure where I fit; I'm a car driver, motorcyclist, pedal cyclist and pedestrian, and sometime I travel by train. Oh, and I've ridden horses on the road too.

And I see dozy twits in all of these, but before I start flinging stones around, I confess to having made the odd mistake myself.

It can all get gravely serious too. A good friend of mine lost her son in a road rage incident.
