Was it on roundabout? If yes then he did what is best way to stay alive on them and is actually recommended by Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, which UK supposed to abide, but is doing crap job of it.
As for filtering gains it depends on the route/city. On my 8 mile trip I have 11 roundabouts, 9 of them on 50/40 mph dual carriageway. 45 minutes to 2hours in a car, 30-45 minutes on bike, and I'm crap at filtering, if traffic flows 10mph+ I go with it, for now. ____________________ cbf125 |

It was not. It was while cycling along a straight piece of road with two lanes. The cyclist decided, quite correctly, that he was not going to give enough space for vehicles to overtake him on the right within lane 1. I decided, quite correctly, to make a point of showing him where he should have been riding, which is in the gutter where he belongs. Doesn't even pay road tax.

Is it, actually? Which article is that?
I note that Article 14 requires cyclists to give an indication with their arm before and during any turn or laterally manoeuvre. Heh, that's a good one. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I think that if there's a cycle path running alongside a road, but the cyclist doesn't use it and stays in the road, you should be bound by law to drive over them. ____________________ Chances are quite high you are not in my Monkeysphere, and I don't care about you. Don't take it personally.

And a bounty paid.
In my anecdote above, you will be un-amazed to hear that there is a broad, clear, clean, well surfaced, and almost completely unused cycle facility right next to the carriageway. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Motorway filtering can be daunting. I tend to stick between lane 1 and 2 between junctions but as you approach a junction you need to expect someone to change into lane 1 without checking their mirrors.
Still - no better feeling than filtering through to the front of a closed motorway |
