I disagree. Most cyclists for the most part follow the Highway Code. My view is that there are probably a greater proportion of drivers breaking it and they represent the greater danger. A cyclist breaking the rules runs the risk of killing themselves, and a driver breaking the rules risks killing someone else. All of that said, the cyclists I see breaking the Highway Code are of varying appearance - including those on expensive bikes with all the technical clothing. I could illustrate this with something I saw on Rising Brook last week: a woman was tootling along at 10mph-ish on a "cheap" bike, but nothing wrong with that, bloke on expensive road bike in all the gear is approaching from behind at a greater speed. They are quite close together, so a lorry behind takes the opportunity to overtake since there is no oncoming traffic at all. As he is half way through overtaking the tit on the road bike decides to pull out and overtake the slower cyclist forcing the lorry all the way over onto the wrong side of the road. Not very clever.
