I also hate the increasing use of the term "road craft", it's implications and the sort of ball sack that uses it. As far as I can understand it, road craft if you're a driver means cheeky/illegal/dangerous/selfish things to get one over on other road users.If you're a cyclist, however, it means getting out of the way of whoever is using the expression so that they can get to the lights a bit quicker: Basically be considerate to anyone in a car whether or not the situation warrants it, regardless if the inconvenience to you will more than outstrip any advantage to the driver whether it's dangerous or even impossible or if there even is any advantage for the driver, just get out of their way.
I tend to try to troll the fuckers by asking if RLJ-ing is a form of road craft.
(apparently it's not)
Sorry, result of what should have been a mellow Sunday morning ride ruined 5 minutes in by a cock polisher
