On meh bike

Forget developing invisibility cloaks for the army, all they need to do is send them in on push bikes. You can guarantee that no one will see you, that includes people pulling out of side roads, setting off from being parked, opening car doors… list is endless.
What is it about being on a bike? If I was walking, I would be seen. Why when on a bike, no one can see you? The number of times I have had “altercations” with drivers.
This has yet to deter me, neither will the weather. I will continue to do my bit for the environment, as well as my wallet and persist with biking.
My route is not too bad, around 60% is cycle paths. Which is a must in Leicester as it is fair to say driving in Leicester is like an episode of Whacky Races.
I have a helmet, and I feel that I am the only one with a helmet. Have yet to see anyone else with a helmet.
Saying all that, there is a “warm” feeling when you hold up traffic momentarily. But less said about that the better. ;)
