Just a follow up on this, a little bump, especially due to the step back in time of last week.
Its been a couple of weeks now and I am enjoying my cycling around town even more.
I feel a lot safer and am much more considered about filtering etc. My observation has improved and I feel like I am part of the traffic flow a lot more. As a result I think I am moving through traffice better, so I actually get places in the same time as if I were doing my tortoise and hare impersonation.
There are still idiots in cars and on bikes who drive without observing anything, but I am now assessing risk better and these offenders are easy to spot.
If you are ever wondering how to make yourself a little safer on the road then I would suggest this. Extra lights and fluoro gear may be of some assistance but confidently riding in the safest position on the road will be a lot better.
The other thing is to suggest such training to friends and family who are concerned about cycling safety.
Excellent advice. Great to hear it's working so well for you!
