• ^I sometimes get the impression that cyclists behind me think I'm racing them when I shoulder check regularly. Like somehow having a good idea of what's going on around me at any time other than when I'm about to make a manoeuvre is fiercely competitive.

  • I get this paranoia about the shoulder check too! And then I worry that they think I'm a massive twat for being so racey because I cycle really slow and they soon shoot past. I need to stop worrying, of course, but that's another story.

    As for helping out other inexperienced cyclists putting themselves in danger, would handing them a polite flyer with "top ten hints" help? With tips on safe maneuvering through traffic and advice on how to find cycle training, etc.

    Probably a bit too passive aggressive/cutesy mind you.
