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?

Managed to get to 44mph (guy told me what speed I was doing when we stopped) on Dorchester Road while racing a white van man .. Me and him had a good giggle about it at the Traffic Light in Oakdale when we were at the bottom of the hill. (This was pre getting knocked off when I used to not consider my mortality).

Some guys/girls respect you for giving it some, depends who it is ultimately.

Sometimes it is more fun to be yang most of the time.
