Perhaps, hillsideresident? PERHAPS?! I say DEFINITELY! Psycholist is my favourite.

I'm so glad I wrote on here to ask others to help refine the term Cyclist.

That has got me chuckling away now. I can't wait to use it in a sentence. I've just written it down and shown one of my friends here and we both agree that it is top class.

Hillsideresident, thank you for introducing me to psycholist!

Applespider,

I very much like your list of the nice ones.

I'd like to add in those road users of all hues that make good eye contact with each other.

Especially at tricky spots like the Elephant and Castle gyratory and the one way system around Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner.

For myself, I'm ever so grateful to those drivers who observe me, especially when it is sometimes dark and rainy, and I'm coming from Park Lane into that big one way system at Hyde Park Corner and indicating to move to the right to then position myself so that I can exit for Constitution Hill (next to Buckingham Palace). It's a tricky thing on a bicycle as you need to be like Regan (Linda Blair) from The Exorcist and have your head spinning 360 degrees, especially on the lookout for any last minute decisions of others to leave the system and exit towards Piccadilly, all the while you have your right arm indicating and only holding onto the handle bars to steer with the other hand. It can be quite the adrenalin rush once in a while.

It is a spot where it pays for everyone to have high level focus. Never helped when someone is speeding through in a high spec sports car, not indicating as they move lanes, mobile phone stuck to their ear while smoking a cigarette, music blaring and looking at themself in their rearview mirror and then exiting toward Knightsbridge as they drop the car down a gear to approach the speed of sound.

Making good eye contact with other road users, as I’m pedalling towards my exit down Constitution Hill, I almost always get a friendly wave through so that I feel comfortable that they are conscious of me. It is only then that I can relax. And the person who has waved me through then acts (well their vehicle does) like a Guardian Angel because they are shielding me from the traffic from behind.

Friends sometimes have their jaws drop when I say that I ride through that part of London. I like it because for one brief moment in my day I'm acutely aware of the present moment. That doesn't happen too often, I'll tell you.
