Ramblings - My Rides

Having ridden in on the Cycle to work day, got my free breakfast at the University and went to work...

In the afternoon the snow fell, which as always caused chaos, I though I would leave it a little later to let the rush die down a little, so I set off around ten to six.  All was fine with the ride if a little slippery until a car still covered in snow pulled out from the right hand side of the road, straight across in front of me, I managed to swerve (which is a feat in itslef on a recumbent) but still nudged the car with my shoulder.

The driver was completely oblivious to the fact they had nearly killed me, they could not possibly have seen me since every window, with the presumed exception of the windscreen, was covered in snow, they had made no attempt to clear them at all.

I find it saddening that they have so little regard for others that they wouldn't even bother to clear the side windows or the rear window, I presume they expected the snow to fall off after a while, of maybe they were hoping to use passing cyclists to brush it off for them!!!
