BHS Sheila Hardy is also chairman of Cycling Time Trials (us lycra speed merchants). She has got a fullpage article in the CTT yearbook (each racing cyclist should have a copy) about How To Pass Horses Safely. I think she also got it into the British Cycling yearbook (covers bunch cycling road races).
With my cycling hat on, it's surprising when I speak to other cycle racers, how many them come from horsey backgrounds or still/also own horses, esp the women, but often if it's a cycling husband, I'll find the wife is horsey. So there's definitely a lot more shared interest and understanding than some HHO posters might think. And certainly those of us, like Sheila, who have a foot in both camps, spend a lot of time educating and explaining to either group, in order to create better understanding and harmony.
