YOUNG BRIGG CYCLIST SHOWS CARE AND CONSIDERATION

Brigg Blog was impressed with the consideration shown by a teenage cyclist on St Helen's Road. 
With the usual line-up of parked cars either side of the street, she realised she was holding up traffic as she pedalled slowly along and so pulled into the side of the road to let drivers past.
A few hours later we observed a group of cyclists in full racing kit on the A18 Scawby Road, heading for Brigg. There's a cycle lane available here but they were spread out into the road - 3 or 4, side by side - which meant following vehicles could not get past.
Didn't there used to be something in the Highway Code about riding not more than two abreast?
In this week's Scunthorpe Telegraph viewpoint section there's a strongly worded letter from a Brigg resident complaining about cyclists riding through the pedestrian area at speed. Brigg Blog has touched on that topic before.
As with many things in life, a little courtesy and consideration for others is all that's required. And that includes those who favour two-wheeled transport.
