For the most part, if someone has commuted on a bike on major roads for any length of time they'll invariably be/have become a "Militant Cyclist" Unless you're a Tibetan Monk it's impossible not to be.
I once did a gig where there was a fine example, nobody really said much about or to him but you could tell things were always just below the boil. Until one such day when during a discussion he uttered this immortal line, in defence of why he cycles straight through red lights.. "Cyclist? I see myself more as a pedestrian.."
The hitherto polite 'keep your head down and mouth shut' devs all reacted with a very obvious vocal disgust and indignation to this guy, but he was adament. In the end the Team Lead had to step in to shut everyone up with a "That's enough.. I said THAT'S ENOUGH", the like of which I'd not witnessed since High School.Originally posted by Nigel Farage MEP - 2016-06-24 04:00:00"I hope this victory brings down this failed project and leads us to a Europe of sovereign nation states, trading together, being friends together, cooperating together, and let's get rid of the flag, the anthem, Brussels, and all that has gone wrong."Comment

An high pitched shriek right behind me made me think I was getting dive bombed by a kamikaze seagull.
It was a cyclist with a whistle.
The latest thing apparently . Apparently bells aren't loud enough.
I got hit by a van last Sunday. Most unpleasant. But about par.Comment
