Today we ask locals: In your experience, how well do drivers and cyclists share the road — and what could make it safer?

00:00Well, so I don't drive, I started riding a bike just a few months ago, and I'm not actually

00:10brilliant at it, so I think any time that I've been shouted at by a driver, which isn't

00:14much actually, I'll be honest, I don't think I've had much trouble, I mean, I'm just not

00:18listening, I think that it's been my fault, so I'm going to say as a cyclist, lots of

00:24cyclists are going to hate me for this, because I'm not backing them, but I actually think

00:27that it's made a little bit, aside from the cycle lanes, I do think it's made quite difficult

00:32for drivers, yeah, I'm not sure if I'm saying the right thing, if I should be sticking up

00:38for cyclists, but yeah, I do think that, apart from the fact we're not paying road tax, we're

00:44also not having to do a test.

00:47Well, they should be more considerate with each other, and, you know, give each other a concern,

00:52because they're both travelling, getting to a destination, so yeah, it should be a mutual

00:58understanding.
