Only today while cycling on a road into town, I was passed by a car travelling at 30mph with perhaps 3-4inches between me and it, it pulled in too quickly forcing me to slow down. Within minutes I had caught up with the car and as I then joined a cycle path I overtook it.

I think the answer has to be "yes". Both of them.<br /><br />Brent: The lines simply show a difference in level at the junctions. They're raised in order to make the junctions obvious.<br /><br />What I don't mention in the video is that you have to give way to the right at these junctions.

Cycling infrastructure shared with motorists on the British model isn't working, and the kind of segregated infrastructure on offer is equally mediocre. <br /><br />I don't believe cycling is ever freewheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16731932510033958017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102538965694240940.post-32387774091425399732009-12-05T12:33:38.841+01:002009-12-05T12:33:38.841+01:00Yet another example from a civilized country on ho...Yet another example from a civilized country on how it should be done.<br />When, oh when, are the British planners going to wake up?WestfieldWandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248492361148849247noreply@blogger.com
