but with the guy in the silly day time high viz to cover his brakes, adjust his hand position to prevent carpal tunnel, perhaps even raise his saddle a few mil and to have taken the lane, right?
Aaahhh.....the joys of proofing photos for cycle training literature.
No foot retention, needs drops etc. etc.
I can't see anything wrong with his lane positioning? Isn't that what this whole thread is about?

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.

Spread the love ... seems to have touched a chord.

I guess only a full decision can be made if we know what's coming from behind the camera - if there is head-on traffic I'd probably move out a bit more. If no head on traffic then I guess your "Slack Primo" is probably good enough here. My original point about him being in a shitty position is more in relation to SkyNews' desire for more literature showing cyclists in primary to move towards a culture change where it becomes acceptable.
Good Primo *needs *good communication - Good Primo without the looking back, then the exagerated "retreat" to secondary and the "cheers boss!" wave, once safe enough, is, in the minds of drivers, just some prick riding in the middle of the road.

Saw a dayglo nodded this morning, helmet perched on his head at a jaunty angle like a beret.
His gillet had " pass with pride, always take it slow and wide"
The genius of it was the print was so small I had to be less than three feet away to be able to read it.
I love safety products that make people less safe.

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.
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.

Does this neatly sumise the Pussy/Cock dialectic? I'm so relieved.

In his 1980 interview with Playboy, John Lennon acknowledged McCartney's authorship by saying, "That's Paul again ... He had a line in it, 'And in the end, the love you get is equal to the love you give,' which is a very cosmic, philosophical line. Which again proves that if he wants to, he can think."[3] Lennon misquoted the line slightly; the actual words are, "And, in the end, the love you take/ Is equal to the love you make."[4]
I've bolded a sentence where John is being a dick. And I love it.Is being a dick a such a bad thing after all? Think about your celebs, politicians, musicians, actors, members of the royal family? What percentage is pricks?
Britain loves dicks. Isn't that what the British identity is all about?
So why fight it? Maybe you should be saying: "Yeah, we're dicks and proud of it."
