Could not agree more mate. I've had this happen to me many times when I was cycling into work. Either on the Heathcote Lane, or on Tachbrook Road, with parents letting their kids run free on a cycle path, then giving me dirty looks or shouting at me when I have to swerve out of the kids way.
Another gripe I have on this, is the lack of respect car users show to cyclists. One thing that really riles me is when you're coming around a roundabout and a cra just pulls out without giving way to me, just because they think they can pull away before I get there.
As you know, I now work in town and walk to work. I miss cycling, but I certainly don't miss the dangers that come with it.
