hi Toks, happened to me before as well, when it did my bike got damaged but the driver paid for repairs, who is responsible and for how much depends on the situation, if you were coming up on the inside left, as long as you were not bombing along but being careful then I would think most of the fault would be the drivers. The highway code is not clear on cyclsts going up the left, after all cycle paths and bus lanes allow under taking of traffic.

Yeah I know a ridiculously slow time for 100miles. Heavy ruc sac or not I need to get that time a bit closer to 5 hrs. :wink: I often can't be bothered to eat when on long commutes so I'll try that next time. Hey Adam, have you got any A races left for this season now?

Yep, Richmond GP Prem on Sunday, Giles Ree Memorial on the 6th Sept. And there will probably be some more races on the agenda before I call time on this season... Just gonna do a quick write up on a decent race in Belgie at the weekend... (finally!)
