Hi - I'm looking at a rear mount cycle carrier for my ford fiesta 5dr 1.25 zetec, W reg (2000).

I've been looking at the Thule 978 ( www.roofrackshop.co.uk/Car-Products/Bike-Racks-and...x)

Some sites say you can't use a rear mount cycle carrier if you have spoiler. Does anyone know what cycle carriers I should be looking at?

Many thanks

A couple of incidents in the last couple of days.

While crossing the road at a fairly complex junction yesterday (three separate sets of lights, four streams of traffic), I observed a young man, who crossed the first part of the junction (two lanes of traffic from the right) successfully while texting and listening on his phone. He then continued to cross - but the traffic from the left was pulling off. He paid no attention, continuing at a normal walking pace, resulting in a car passing very close to him, amidst beeping horns.

I put this down to distraction by the phone - in that situation any sensible pedestrian would either have waited for the lights to change again, or on seeing the oncoming traffic, run.

But perhaps I was mistaken - while out walking today, I saw a young man of chavvish appearance (with three companions of similar age and countenance), dart into the town centre traffic (30mph) cross the road in the face of traffic, causing disruption and a loud beeping. He then dallied back across the road , again oblivious as to traffic and causing a driver to slam on his brakes (the man walked in front of his car) - to which he responded by pressing his body against the car and bringing his fist down as if to smash the window (which he did not actually do).

He did not appear to be drunk (not really the time of day for it), and his companions seemed utterly indifferent to his behaviour.

Now I realise that this behaviour was a symptom of his total contempt for everyone but himself, but is it getting more common?

I assume the perpetrators know that drivers will make an effort to stop - knowing that the police would come down like a ton of bricks on decent people committing a single malfeasance whereas the police are entirely inured to the behaviour of the underclass, who will spend their adult lives demonstrating their contempt for society.

(PS. In certain circumstances 'assertiveness' with traffic is normal, such as in Central London - a large group of pedestrians can stop a stream of traffic - but jumping out in front of cars is not really that. BTW, this occurred in low-crime Surrey rather than an inner-city ghetto.) Read more
