Hope I didn't cause any problems as I came by! 29er was fantastic but rigid was not ideal. With a suspension fork I could have let go a bit more on the bumpier sections. Always love the Dyfi events, a great challenge going up and down! Matt Hi Paul, That final descent was great, very tricky with line choice at certain points.

Always love the Dyfi events, a great challenge going up and down!

I was on my 2nd lap, so you must have been on your home run. You called ‘rider right’ and my mate in front took evasive action taking the left line going straight through the iced over puddle!!!! I used your line on the next lap! How did you find riding a 29er rigid around the Dyfi forest? And what bike were you riding?

An open debate creating a list of please dos and please don'ts for both cyclists and drivers will not only create more considerate and safer road use but also prevent resentment on both sides. This lack of resentment may cause both parties to be more generous and patient towards each other and give greater confidence to people to cycle those shorter journeys. I'm a keen cyclist based on it being a hobby, loving the cheap commute and parking, being awake for work and enjoying its health benefits, but who worries re road safety. But I also love my car and can find the green snobbery and inconsideration of silly cyclists can give us a bad reputation. Therefore, Dear The Times, please invite both cyclists and drivers to write in about the behaviours we like and dislike and draw up some standard guidelines and where relevant possibly work with the department of transport if there are areas that should be brought into the highway code.
