"I was a marshal in the LCC ride to the Tour de France prologue ride when my bike got mashed by a duck. If a very experienced cyclist has this experience, while acting in an official capacity, I can only think that there is an awful lot more that needs to be done before London is a safe place for cyclists. |

Or indeed drivers and pedestrians. Removing the other idiots would be a start ... |

I'll sort you out with a fixie, if you like dg. You never know until you try. |

I may have been on a bike, but I think those ducks are more likely to end up killing a pedestrian if nothing is done, given how unbelieveably bad the driver's visibility is. I'm going to try doing something. |

...Oh, and ++I'll still be standing on the pavement++ True. Or maybe jammed shoulder to shoulder in a train with your nose milimeters from a sweaty armpit, wondering how long it will be before the train clatters those last few hundred yards into the station. Or standing in front of locked station gates, waiting for the overpacked platform to clear. Maybe sitting fuming in a car going nowhere. Or a bus heaving slowly from stop to stop. Your choice. |

Give me sweaty armpits and a microfolded "news"paper any day. And this is NOT ironic. |
