Apologies if it's already been discussed, I tried a search and nothing came up.
I'm starting to become alot more confident and "aggressive" when cycling.
I've started to use vehicles to lean on at lights so I don't need to unclip and can't track stand their duration.
I've also started using goods vehicles, vans, "utes" and some cars to hold onto for boosts up hills and at lights to gain speed fast.
I feel a bit cheeky doing it and I still feel a little underconfident doing it.
What do people think? Is it bad etiquette? Is it clever use of environment? Is it fracking dangerous?
I'm not saying I do it all the time, just when the opportunity arises. As a driver myself, I don't think I'd have a problem with a handsome guy on a shit hot fixie leaning on my car.....
