Nuts at the Wheel

Category: Rave

I just have to plug this post by fatty. For a long time myself and friends head out training without a thought that we might not return, that maybe we will meet our fate in an accident. This is a real issue to most cyclists around the world. As cities grow along with the number of cars on the road too. The danger factor of becoming a statistic of another road fatally is quiet real.

The reason for this post is after doing my usual stop over at fatcyclist.com I read his post “Both sides of the Windshield” Aptly named may I add. As I have training with groups both small and large including solo rides I’d say there is about a 15% chance of having a near miss. The usual statement that comes from someone in the bunch is “if it had another coat of paint it would have taken me out”. The amount of near misses are never considered in road statics and this is across the board not just for cyclists.
The following site will give you the opportunity to Report a “Nut at the Wheel” along with the ability to print off the report and submit it to the police as a report.
