RE: 2 Cycling Tips You Probably Need To Hear Again | Cycling Video

in #cycling6 years ago

Hello @onetakeaday :)

Very nice, useful tips for all the cyclist around.

If you are making next videos in this subject, you may also include very important info:
If there is no bikers line on the road or on the pedestrian walk. if you are on the road, keep in the middle of the line, not on the side. It may make drivers mad, but it is for your safety - why?

According to probably most traffic laws around the world (check how it is in your country) the bicycle rider is a fully legal user of the road. It means that you are allowed to stay in the middle of the line.

It is important, because if you are on the side of the line, the drivers will overtake you when there are another cars on the other lines and they may hook you, you may fall, and it may be not good for anyone.

I have more tips - if you are interested let me know :)

All the best, have a nice day and stay safe on the road :)

That is a very true and important point you are making. I think it’s something a lot of new cyclist are unsure of because they are to nervous to ride in the middle and upset the drivers, but like you say it is much safer if the road is narrow.
