I hate to use the phrase “Smidsy” but it was totally appropriate to describe a minor incident I experienced recently. I had just dropped my son at school and was sedately pedalling home (brownie points from me, healthy exercise and reducing the carbon footprint) when a driver decided to reverse back down a road, directly into my path. I swerved to avoid an obvious collision and as I glanced back it became quickly apparent that the driver was adamant I was in the wrong. They even had the audacity to gesticulate to ensure I was completely aware of the fact. Usually I would just shrug it off (as it happens far too often and is all part of a two wheeled lifestyle), however on this occasion some force of sobriety and fairness took over and I felt the need to re-educate this blinkered motorist. I pedalled up to the car as they were about to deliver their kids to school (no brownie points and signifi cantly adding to the carbon footprint, just saying!) My aim was to protect the integrity and safety of all cyclists out there!
We had a mature calm conversation until they decided to spout some drivel about me being in their blind spot and even more remarkably I should have known where that actual blind spot was (of course I have a list of all the cars on the market and there build specifi cations). I tried to diffuse the situation by suggesting that a simple gesture of apology, like a brief nod of the head would have been more appropriate and we parted in agreement that there are good and bad motorists and cyclists out there. Crucially, it does highlight that the journey of education for all road users will continue to be long and laborious but is much needed to make our roads as safe as possible for all in the years ahead.
Inside this issue we concentrate on the joys of pedalling in Wales. I had a great time exploring the history and culture on the North Coast and a mix of pedalling and quality time celebrating the onset of a New Year in the Irfon Valley. I would especially like to thank Drover Holidays for inviting me to discover the mountains of Mid Wales and shatter any pre-conceptions of an E-Bike. Finally I hope you will be inspired by a school girl inventor who is most defi nitely on the up.
Happy pedalling
