To make my point clear
I don't have a particular issue with cyclists.

I think it's an excellent, healthy and cheap way of getting about.

Where I live is very, very rural, so I think nothing of "popping in the car" to see my best mate, who lives half an hour away. The nearest shop is a fifteen minute drive, and that's along 60mph roads, for the most part.

So, despite cycling being good stuff, it's not helpful for me.

My only real issue is inconsiderate cyclists. I respect that they have a right to be on the road, but I think they need to accept their limits. If I'm following a slow tractor, it'll pull over to let me by. That's a lot of hassle for the tractor driver, but they do it out of courtesy.
I wish more cyclists would do the same.
