There are eejits and there are cyclists - the same

Heading in to the bar at 0645 a.m. this morning, and took the main road as the back and side roads were very treacherous, Even on the main road there was only a only a narrow track gritted with snow and sheet ice at the sides. Surprisingly, for a Sunday morning there were quite a few cars on the go BUT then , there they were - the cyclists, in the pitch black outwith the street lights, no lights on the bikes and in dark clothing. Just where are their brains - probably crushed on the saddle. One chap was on the A701, only about 200 yards from the last fatal I dealt with, and that was a young cyclist. It is time that traffic wardens, etc were given the powers to enforce the existing legislation as the Police obviously do not have the time or the inclination to do so.
