Horse riders are also less likely to be in situations where we are on the road annoying motorists with our slowness (although I've had times) so we aren't in the public eye as much. When I'm riding on the road and hear/see a motorist coming I move onto the grass verge if available (which cyclists can't really do).human909 wrote:No. They have just kept a lower profile due to their smaller numbers.Xplora wrote:Clearly the horse lobby holds more sway than the bicycle lobby.
Usually when we're annoying other motorists we're driving cars pulling floats going along windy roads with double lines driving REALLY slowly (the slowness is for the horse's sake).
