Today I cycled into Gloucester from Abbeymead, starting at the same time as a driving instructor. We arrived in a pre-arranged car park at exactly the same time. Cycling in a city is an efficient way to get about.

After close passing me so he could get to the traffic queue before me, a driver suggested I get a car like a ‘normal person’. He didn’t look normal to me, but very angry. I asked if he was jealous so he revved his little engine to drown me out. I think he may have been compensating for something.
If I had an account with NatWest I’d be closing it as they’ve apologised to a traitor.
