Cycling Techniques

some fine awareness of other roads users shown by the above two posts.
and isnt that what its ultimately about, using the same space.
if Im travelling along an urban road or bus lane, especially at rush hours, its very likely that Ill come across the same vehicle more than once,
seems to make sense to yield to its greater speed on open stretches, rather than having a coronary trying to be the big man, if I visibly with awareness pull in behind a bus indicating to pull away, often get a thanks wave, then later when I overtake the same driver, they will give you space when youre assertively riding through junctions.
Skydancers ying and yang aint it?

You've just summed up how I think about cycling in town and communicating with other road users perfectly.
