Indeed numerous car drivers are just as bad, and it's not just on amber.

Nothing against bike riders who use common sense but the cunts who ride bikes at night dressed all in black and no lights deserve everything that happens to them.

Yesterday, on Upper Brook Street, two uber drivers collided with each other. One had run a red light.
3rd incident i've seen going to work since the New Year.

Agreed bad drivers are bad drivers. But cycling is Not “just as bad” in terms of numbers. For a few months I was walking from picadilly to St Peter’s square, I regularly counted 10+ cyclists going through red lights. Occasionally cars when it was close to amber. One occasion I counted 28 cyclists going through red lights including one that missed me by about 6 inches in that 15 min period. It was about 75/80% of cyclists that day.
The number of Cyclists ignoring red lights is insane.

Just overtake when it is safe to do so. I'd suggest just before a bend ins't a safe place to overtake.
You can always spot a poor overtake from miles away as the driver will be either dangerously close, or on the brakes the moment they've passed (must get in front drivers).
Three of the most basic decisions when overtaking with a bend coming up is distance and speed of both vehicles. Unfortunately one or both of the vehicle users can often be fucking idiots.

It really isn’t. Lycra is a material that wicks away moisture helping the person wearing it to feel more comfortable. It’s not supposed to be a fashion statement.
What its supposed to be used for and what it is are not always the same.
