Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

Idiot.

funny that all the time you spent not ansering a simple question you could of just anserd my simple question and saved every one time and effort...

Ignore James Nohere fast, you've made him cross. I haven't had time to read the thread properly but hat as the question you anted ansering?

look over your shoulders a lot,

i hardly ever see anyone doing this yet it does more than just enables you to look over your shoulder, it tells other road users that you are about to do something because you are looking at what is moving into the space where you want to move to.
the amount of cyclists who change lanes (especially from bus/cycle lane into other traffic) without looking is ridiculous.

just don't look over your shoulder for too long or you might just very nearly go into the back of a white van that stops at the lights on the southside of waterloo bridge.

^Indeed, there are stacks of reasons to do it. I was making a, possibly ill judged, attempt to placate Nowhere Fast by giving him the quick answer he demanded.

aid, i curnt beleaf yur helping nowur fazt, hez so cleva he neads no help

simply.... what to do on a roundabout? thats it.

i thort in a thread where people wer way to obsessed about road safety some one would anser me so i did'nt have to read through pages of stuff that probly wouldnt anser my question anyway.

I'm lost for ords

I reckon Nowhere Fast is actually a Paul Merton alias, deliberately striving to appear to be as stupid and obtuse as possible.

Otherwise he is an utter cretin and perhaps we should let evolution take its course.

Is it time for an apt user name thread?

Seriously, i really don't want to sound confrontational here, i'm going to take it in good faith that you're not trolling and you genuinely want to know:

The pages/posts that have been linked to are really useful for you to read. I found them pretty interesting myself. If you care about finding out how to approach roundabouts, then you should be willing to take a few minutes to do so. The reason no-one here can give you an easy, simple, quick answer to your 'simple' question ... is that there isn't one. It depends. There are different ways to approach different roundabouts, in different conditions, on different days. BUT reading that stuff should help you think about it and therefore improve how you do it.

Hope that helps.

Nowhere Ever?

Yes.

I've seen a lot of people talk about "eye contact" but i find that quite hard - i very rarely, if ever, can be sure i've made eye contact, i find it hard to locate the face behind the windscreen, and for some reason i usually look at the "face" of the car - y'know the radiator and lights, i think it's some childish thing on my part - well, at least it means i see the indicators...

But i do look over my shoulder a lot, partly as a way of communicating to drivers that i want to do something other than keep going in the position i'm in. Mind you, i look over my shoulder quite a lot anyway, i'm a bit twitchy like that, you can hear the cars slow down a bit just in case i'm about to do something... that probably isn't so helpful on my part.

Hey, anyone here use mirrors? Maybe i'd be less twitchy if i had one. Or maybe it'd just be a thing to distract me from the stuff around me and therefore not a good idea...

Don't suggest making eye contact, he might be really shy and get run over and it'll all be your fault

I have an exposure joystick light strapped to my head. You can see the whites of their eyes when you eyeball them.

I often make eye contact with drivers..

Part of cycle training is developing the skill to look behind and to do so safely, with control whilst picking up salient details.

There are quite a few cyclists who twitch their head round but appear to fail to observe that there is already a vehicle in the lane they intend to move into. Scary to watch.

I don't think i do this, but i always worry that i just have, so i have to check again. And if there were pedestrians anywhere in front, i worry that they've suddenly lurched into the road, so i have to check... Twitchy, yes.

yes i actualy did want to know, thanks for not being a dick like the rest, so i guess i'll just keep using my common sense and do what i think the safest, seems to be the kind of anser anyway.

soooo cycle training is being more observant, when im oredy very observant?

Your observation needs work. The answer was given and you didn't see it for quite some time.

Apt indeed.

You are a fucking retard, it is part of cycle training, but not all of it. There is road positioning, risk assessment, communication (that one will be difficult for you), navigation, choice of route etc. Though there are probably too many concepts in that one sentence for you to comprehend.

If you do not have the brain to read the simple points people have made for you here, I dread to think what your realtime observational skills are like.
