You are 100% correct about car drivers, since the theory test came in they seem to be worse, not better, and awareness of their hideous, fat lifestyle wagons is abysmal. What room they think they give is in reality very little. Coastal dawdlers are as bad, Whitley Bay to Tynemouth is back as a two way road after a period of one way and dual cycleway, drivers seem oblivious to everything when they are captivated by the sea views, bikes, other cars and pedestrians!
I currently have a folding mountain bike, which I like since it takes up very little space, but I've been toying with the idea of either getting an electric mountain bike, or converting my current one to electric.
