In defence of motorists

The point is that you shouldn't be within the overtaking maneuver by the time you get to that junction.

I have used bikehike to check my distances. When I started my overtake I was 228 yards (or 208m) from the junction and I was nowhere near the junction when I completed my overtake, probably over 150 yards away.

All powerful and prescient champions of the cause, 'power to the keyboard' as Wolfie might say.

How on earth does wishing for "well maintained, wide cyclist only lanes on every road" demonstrate a lack of understanding for road safety ?

How do you turn right?

Well, there will always be points that cyclists and motorists come in to contact (not literally hopefully) like junctions and roundabouts etc.

Cycle lanes just marginalise cyclists, encourage poor cyclist/motorist behaviour, and not matter how wide are detrimental to overall road safety.

Show me a cyclist who is in favour of cycle lanes and I'll show you an inexperienced cyclist.

Hmm.

I'm in favour of decently constructed, designed and maintained ones, where the traffic speeds are high (say, 40+ mph). Certainly if we're not going to make drivers behave themselves, at least.

sadly, the uk experience is that being in favour of decently constructed, designed and maintained cycle lanes/paths effectively means being against most (charitably - pessimistically all) of the cycling infrastructure that we actually have.

Agreed, using your indicators in a car is a must that fewer people seem to do

Extend your left arm away from your bike to initiate the right turn bike signal. Your elbow should be bent at a 90 degree angle with your forearm pointing upward. The left palm should be pointing forward to indicate a proper right turn.

Er, you what?

A non event has certainly done well to get to 8 pages
