People crossing the road without looking. Nightmare when you're cycling. Maybe it's an urban thing - people so attuned to road noise they think they can tell when something's coming without looking - but bikes are nearly silent. Atlantic Road in Brixton is particularly bad, almost as if some people think there's a pedestrian zone between the two parts of the market. Yesterday someone walked off the pavement BACKWARDS in front of me.

The bride mostly ;-)

Afraid to say I've been guilty of this one in the past. Quickly scanning the road and not noticing an approaching cyclist. But I think (hopefully) I've learned my lesson... before both me and an unsuspecting cyclist end up in a heap on the road...

There was a lady walking down the middle of the road this morning, reading her phone messages and seemingly oblivious of where she was. I slowed down and cycled past, giving her a wide birth and she looked up and 'tsked' me!

    • I don't think anyone wants people who need support not to have it.  
    • Of course  The tests are very stringent and they look carefully at claimants for things like how easily they can get up from an armless chair, if they don't use the chair arms thats a black mark, can they walk More 20 yards without problems including breathlessness, pain or even if they need aids (again over 20 yards reduces their chances of claiming) and so on  Trust me, having been assessed a few times, its not easy or guarenteed to get or maintain PIP.  But yes, the whole what is claimed for should be reviewed bur let's not penalise those who need it.
