A tiny minority - you must be kidding odav. As I said to another poster - count up the checks over shoulder tonight.
I'm a bit busy tonight on my Brompton keeping the cycle boxes safe and free from villains.

I'm sorry but that's just not true. I commute in London every day and cyclists doing a life saver check are very rare.No, what you've done is come here and make a ridiculous generalisation about cyclists which many of us, as people who ride bikes every day, know to be untrue. Your point isn't helped by the fact that going by your original post, your position was terrible (in between two vans) - I'd wager that people are less likely to take advice from someone who could clearly improve their own ability in riding their vehicle.
You're welcome.
To look for any motorcyclists abusing the facility and about to skim me when the lights change?
I see the vast majority of cyclists doing proper checks.
Any chance of answering my question as to why you positioned yourself so badly?
No you didn't. I always check all around me all the time.lol ok you got me there!
but pleased I passed on some good info to you on checking over your shoulder when YOU are overtaking, not when cars/ motorbikes are overtaking you. Glad I came on now to help and teach you this, it's very important
No you didn't. I always check all around me all the time.
Now please answer me this. Why do motorcyclists speed knowing full well it increases the chances of their and other road users likelihood of serious injury and death? And how often are you on motorbike forums telling them not to speed when they are far more likely to be killed than a cyclist?
I check behind every 30s or so or if there's a motorbike behind because they can be twunts. And this conversation if proving me correct.Why would you ckeck around you "all the time"? That's dangerous
"Ps I always shoulder check. As does my wife. And my kids. We do it to watch out for stupid overtakes of cars and motorcyclists who are speeding and can't wait or understand what a cycle box is."
Why would you do this? Do you constantly look behind you whilst cars are passing you by? What a loony tunes sight you, your wife and kids must look - necks like owls

Oh i see. do you have a timer that beeps to tell you when to look behind?

you must be kidding, poor Markymark is having a mare this morning./ First of all he said he does a safety check when a car is going to overtake him and then he says he does safety checks on a 30 second timed basis.Snort, you know that feeling when every post just digs you a deeper hole ??
I do , I'm a bugger for it .
It's every now and again.Oh i see. do you have a timer that beeps to tell you when to look behind?
