I felt like there was more respect from drivers, but I don't know enough yet to say conclusively whether that was ingrained cycling culture or the result of better driving instruction.
A hell of a lot of kids ride bikes growing up in this country. Some of those kids turn into asshole drivers, some into inconsiderate riders - that's life.
In Berlin the courtesy shown by drivers was astonishing, a right-turning vehicle will overtake you, the cyclist as you are in your lane, then wait for you to pass before turning! Very unlike east London, I promise you!
Yep ditto this for Lyon. How does this get so ingrained?
Can I suggest introducing Strict Liability until the point that we can prove we have a culture of driving instruction / vehicle responsibility that stops people having to post in Rider Down?
