Sorry for the link, but saw this today. Wasn't aware he cycled.

Is London really that bad?

There are plenty of reasons why someone would want to kill Jeremy Vine, him riding a bike isn't one of them... People are just taking a good opportunity!

There are plenty of car driving psychopaths that post on PH. I can well imagine that anyone who cycles in a big city has to deal with plenty of abuse.

I cycle every day in London and I can't say I can recognise much of what he describes in the article. I've never felt the need for a helmet camera and my eyebrows were raised when he tweeted a picture of his jacket which I had "Polite" printed on the back of it. Without ever having him met him, it seems like he's out looking for confrontation.

"Which is why London is simply terrifying for any person on a bicycle" Not in my 3 years of daily cycling here.

Don't worry too much, Daily Fail readers make PH members look like sharing, caring pinko subversives.

I agree, I can understand why, but he seems to be suffering from Angry Middle-aged Cyclist Syndrome
