I've been riding on the roads for years on various types of bicycle and I never take riding for granted. I'm constantly aware of what's going on around me. I always take into consideration other cyclists. Whilst this whole 'fixed wheel' trend has encouraged people to cycle (good), there's a ton of people that appear to have never rode a bike in their life, nevermind on a busy London road.
This worries me. They have to be reponsible for their own actions yet heavily effect those cycling alongside.
It's not gonna get easier out there. You'll always come across inexperienced or thoughtless riders.
If I ranted on here for everytime I was pissed off on the road I'd be banned.
Gotta take it in your stride I guess. Just try ride safe for yourself and for others.
