• I've noticed a pattern emerging recently that I seem to get considerably more abuse and cunty manoeuvres (close passes, blocking lanes etc) from drivers when I do the long commute on my road bike compared to when I take the shorte ride on my other bikes. I've deduced that clothing must have some part to play in this as when on the roadie I'm in full lycra usually with at least one item of fluro or hi-vis on but when I take the short route I just wear baggy shorts and a normal shirt.
    Anyone else find this or has there been any studies that have indentified this sort of thing?

  • Yes - Ian Walker has done some studies about how drivers behave differently when faced with the same cyclist dressed differently.
