... I can report seeing about 3 cyclists jumping red, and probably around 40 cars jumping reds, in all (once almost ending very nastily for the woman crossing the pelican at the time).
Have had no road rage against me, no one has tried to run me down, I have chatted with white van man whilst waiting at road works & have helped a school kid get his chain back on by the side of the road.
A couple of near misses with motorbikes in the bike lane, and a regular wave from a very nice lady cycling in the opposite direction each morn.
Here's to next month, hopefully!

What route Dan?

Actually the last few weeks have been more pleasant than usual - influence of Summer? Drivers getting used to more cyclists?

Probably one of the safest routes tbh Des Wink

lanes over Farthing Downs, then straight up the A23 - minimum of r'bouts, slow moving traffic. - could be a lot worse
