My safety flag sticks out 70cm, which is less than half the clearance drivers are supposed to give when passing. So, driver of blue Mini MF68YFR shouting "you need to pull that thing in mate", you are the reason I have it.

In 60 years of walking, I've never been nearly hit by a cyclist. In Almost half a million miles of driving, I've never had a problem with a cyclist. Yet I am endangered by drivers, sometimes deliberately, every time I ride my bicycle.

Driver of MM70UMF, when you blast your horn because you have an issue with my safety flag, you are showing without any doubt that you are the reason I use it. It extends out less than half the distance you should be leaving when you overtake me, as defined in the Highway Code.

So, in a morning I ride 4 miles to my granddaughter's home. I hitch her little bike to the trailgator and we ride 0.8 miles to her school with her whooping, singing and chattering all the way. I take her bike back and then ride the 4 miles home. A great way to start the day.

This is the brand new cycleway on Trinity Street, Bolton. Compare the surface to that of the carriageway. Even a "prestigious" facility like this shows clearly the attitude of our Council to activate travel vs motoring.

@pseuderman Their shout through the window as they passed suggests they probably would have tried to overtake me extremely closely into oncoming traffic. Otherwise, why would they be annoyed.

Exciting to see the protected cycle lanes taking shape on the 2nd evey cyclops junction, in Bolton.

@Jonthemon6 First, because that's the safest place to be in a lane that isn't wide enough for a safe overtake in the lane. Second, because I'm preparing to turn right ahead But all that is irrelevant; drivers must follow the highway code even if they don't understand the reason.
