# Oxfordshire
needs more cycle lanes.
Cars are getting bigger and drivers are getting more numerous and stupider.

That said, I firmly believe that if you're driving a car and you kill a cyclist after dark and they haven't got lights or a helmet it's:
a) not a crime
and
b) the responsibility of the dead cylcist's family to pay for repairs to your car.

# Same for cyclists crossing the road without dismounting
I should legally be allowed to kneecap them. Also, if they ride on the pavement after the age of about 14.

# yeah
and red lights, they seem not to apply to cyclists

I see them every morning in Chiswick - just cos it's quiet doesn't mean there aren't people crossing the road - so I just swear at them

mostly they just look sheepish and a bit scared, although I am world's least threatening-looking person

# Could be the Bucks
apparently I've got a bit of a burr as well, and that's round here, they say. I honestly don't think I do but my mum says I'm all fine until I call someone my love and it coems out 'moi lehhve'. I don't think so, she's a crazy bitch.
