Basically the need for a bit more tolerance from both cyclists and car-drivers to sharing the road. Exacerbated this week by a guy who lives in Cashmere, drives a black Hummer (plate WARNIN with a surround that says "does not play well with others"), and who posted online this week that he had knocked 2 cyclists into the kerb in the last 6 months and was quite prepared to do the same again, but who subsequently half-heartedly apologised after he realised that he was easily identifiable as Richard Freeman, the co-owner of the Sign of the Takahe cafe/restaurant and a number of other businesses who look like they will be taking a bit of a dent in patronage from now on. Front page news in the Press on Wednesday I think it was. Following by an alleged case of car-passenger assault on a cyclist at the bottom of Dyers Pass Road yesterday morning. Neither side are completely blameless, and it's a small minority on either side who make it seem more of a car/cyclist war than it actually is, or than it should be. Personally, I'm glad I've got a commute that mostly sticks to quieter roads than the main arteries. C. ________________________________
