Pudsey cyclist attaches sign to bike asking drivers in Leeds to keep their distance

Pudsey cyclist Tim Devereux, 75, has spent the last month riding around with a giant sign on the back of his bike asking drivers to keep their distance when overtaking – and it seems to have worked.

The retired maths teacher attached the eye-catching poster to the back of his bike on January 1.

Despite some close passes, he claimed the sign has brought out a politer side of drivers in Leeds.
