I am sweating enough as it is (even at 10 °C when all English people claim it's too cold)! I don't think wearing a yellow jacket would induce any better behaviour from car drivers (which is generally good —  it's mostly the boys under 25 that are out to shout abuse or kill me).Never having any priority over cars in the UK is rather annoying, but then again some people are kind enough to stop (and I am kind enough to smile and wave).  I also stop at zebra crossings and even at red lights.Taking my bike on a train is problematic though: most trains here are Stansted Express (no bikes allowed), or go into London (tube... no bikes), or have precious little room for my very big Dutch bike. That only leaves the train Cambridge, with its soul-lifting plethora of parked bikes next to the station.</blockquote>
