• No, the discussion was about primo vs segundo, not how to primo.

    The cyclists in the photo is in the primo, leaving no space for a safe same lane overtaking. His primo is a bit slack, a tighter primo will be clearer communication.

    There are completely justifiable "mind trix" techniques taking a bit slack primo, giving a message "oh I'm just a meek cyclists, just happening to occupy the whole lane, not a terrible uppity kind that does it intentionally" and the manipulated motorist "discovers" by himself that he needs to change lanes and gives himself a pat in the back for being such a smart driver.

    But the beauty of your best practices is that it moves beyond this kind of petty manipulation. Taking a good primo is courteous, it's clear good communication.

    I have no idea what almost all of this post means.

    was a particular high(/low)point.

    So should he be closer to the curb or further? Or are you saying he should be one or the other just not where he is? Surely the former would have him in the gutter and the latter would have in the middle of the lane, both of which seem stupid to me (at least in this situation for the latter - good point about not knowing what's coming towards him)? But then I don't know about flipping a mad slack primo to fakie mind trix etc.

    YouTube - primo flip shizzle

    Oh and your man Fausto said it would be better for him to have taken the lane, and I thought the whole discussion on this thread was about when cyclists should, alternatively shouldn't take the lane. But maybe I don't even know what taking the lane means, as like I said I can't rock a tight segundo etc. etc. confusing jargon etc.
