Practicalcycling--share the road"Politely
taking enough space for your own safety is the heart and core of safely
cycling in traffic. You can't be safe unless you're willing to take
some space; even if you have to delay some cars. The most experienced
bicyclists politely and legally use the full lane when it’s needed, and
ride comfortably in a safe-space zone away from hazards. Doing so makes
them safer by being more visible to other drivers at driveways and
intersections, where most collisions occur. It prevents motorists from
squeezing past in narrow lanes; they simply have to wait or go around.
While a 20-30 second wait may be annoying, riding this way is the best
way to ensure safety.
This is called Cooperative Cycling (also known as Vehicular Cycling and Bicycle Driving). It is the only national standard for safe bicycling that is based upon using all the standard traffic rules to politely cooperate with other drivers...."
