Andrew I agree with you 100% and it an issue of how to get all road users to share the space safely and respectfulley.

As a driver who also rides around 5,000mls a year on a bike, I see both sides of this, and there a just as many poor drivers who are impatient to pass cyclests at a safe distance or who pull out in front of a bike.Too many of them out and about breaking the traffic regs as it is here.

Keen racing cyclist for 25 years; I've had a go at most sides of the sport from track, road race, stage races, cyclo-cross and time trials. Just out of curiosity, while we're on the subject, are there any roadies around here?

I bought a SA-1 focusing screen for my MX off ebay, when it arrived to turned out to be a SC-1 in a SA-1 box. I contacted the seller with no success then raised a dispute with ebay, after a week they found in my favour and the seller agreed to refund the cost of the screen when I retuned it. The only down side was I had to pay the cost of the return shipping!
I think the MX-1 is a fantastic camera which punches well above it's class with the images it produces, I never fail to be impressed with the results I get with it.
This image is another shining example of the images they can produce; well done

In 1980 my setup was an MX with 28mm, 50mm & 75-150mm zoom, this covered most of what I wanted to shoot.
Still have them in use today

Whilst I agree that there are idiotic cyclists, drivers and even motorcyclists the thing that I find unfathomable is why so many cyclists (and motorcyclists) seem to have no concept of personal safety.
Riding in black clothes without lights is idiotic. Undertaking motorcycles on corners is idiotic. And cycling without a helmet is idiotic.
The worst thing is that too many cyclists don't seem to realise that drivers either cannot see them or will not look for them. And being in the right doesn't help if you're dead!
