Thanks for the offer Wiganwill. I've had two cycle training sessions this year but the above post reminded me that I've developed a bad habit I need to break. Actually, thinking about it I've developed bad filtering habits now that I'm more confident on the bike and I need to drop those sharpish.
During my last lesson Jill (my trainer) pointed out my road positioning faults and we talked about filtering, which at the time I only did if there was the equivalent of 2/3 cyclists wide. Now I realise that I've developed the habit of 'getting ahead at almost all costs', like many of the cyclists I see on my route. Definitely not good and must be broken as I've plans to join a few of the LFGSS rides next year. Need to be alive/injury-free for that!
