Don't be a pussy, don't be a dick

(apologies to anyone offended by the post title)

Transport for London have been debating what advice to give to cyclists around the default riding position and there is some discussion, even disagreement around this issue between cycle trainers, road engineers and other parties. A conference is planned later this month for London boroughs to hammer this out and to make recommendations for changes to the National Standard training syllabus.

**I hope to argue the case for a wider acceptance of cyclists in within the traffic stream including showing more cyclists in this position in TfL cycling promotion literature **. It would be good to have some pithy phrase to use and that cycle trainers can use (Like 'see, be seen, communicate') to express the pussy/dick balance without offending anyone.

Any ideas?

"Assertive not antagonistic; cooperative not cocksure".

As you can see, I'm not good with pith, but did manage to get the word "cock" in there.

Good luck with getting more images of cyclists in the primary position in TFL literature. Since the advent of Cycle Superhighways there are more images of cyclists riding to the left, occupying the CS lane and, a concomitant view that this is the rightful/correct place for cyclists on the road.
