  21. Hi Mathew :-)
  22.  
  23. I am both. Cyclists get in my way when I cycle. They go to slow - Cycle
  24. quickly, and putting all that energy in, only to stop for someone pedaling
  25. in the wrong gear, Aaaargh!
  26.  
  27. When I drive, I give cyclists a lot of room when overtaking them. If no room, I
  28. wait behind them. No problem. I suppose I'm the exception. However cycling to
  29. my parents of friends in Glasgow, isn't really an option.
