• WALKING calmly along Kilburn High Road a few days ago, I heard the words, “Mind your back, old man.”

A pavement cyclist (not on a Lime) was just passing and left me no time to react. So he achieved a hat-trick: being rude, ageist, and law-breaking.

This reminded me of an incident last year. An e-scooter user rang his bell behind me as I waited to cross at a junction. Such incidents do nothing for the good name of other cyclists and e-scooter users.
