Look, I’m not allowed on the pavement, so you’re sharing the road with me. Tough, but it’s gotta be done. That also means you kind of have to try not to kill me. It’s not that hard, just stop thinking of me as the enemy and extend the same courtesy to me as you do to other drivers. I bet you don’t try to push them into the gutter, or rip their sleeve off by coming too close and then laughing.

Oh and the “I didn’t see you” argument won’t wash. I wear a bright orange high-vis vest, flashing LED headlights and rear lights and a helmet with reflectors on it - if you can’t see that then you really shouldn’t be driving.

Having my whole life flash before my eyes every time I go to friggin’ Sainsbury’s is not my idea of fun - I know it might be yours but that really shouldn’t be MY problem.
