Doubling Up On Road

[col]

Not police, no.

And not blocking, but holding back at a pinch point so I don't get knocked off, yes.

This wasnt on your post, its on anothers in a different context

Oh yeah, it was that feller with Spex on.

Sorry I haven't made myself clear. (I do that a lot) If it's not safe to dismount at a pinch point ( I think that was agreed ) is it not safer to take primary through it rather than risk encouraging a risky overtake from a motor vehicle?

If its a tight pinch point, i would have checked behind me before entering it, if i had to make a vehicle slow unreasonably Id hang back and let it go.

No I didn't. Pardon me for not including the words "amongst other things"
I don't see why you have to be so confrontational about it.

I ll give you the benefit of the doubt, next time get your facts straight eh ?

You are more of a gentlemen than me

but I am pretty sure that I would never get to work if I had to dismount or pull over every time a car wanted to pass me at rush hour.

Control the road space around you. If a car is about to overtake in a situation which would make the overtake unsafe, then move out and prevent it.

That's what I was taught in my cycling lessons last year.

 

[col]

My safety, your safety. My convenience, your convenience.

Im not trained to police other vehicles on the roads, and doubt most other cyclists are too, and Id gladly be inconvenienced if it keeps things safer than being convenient.

 

[col]

Then you are doing all of us a disservice

Why?

I dont know, why do you ask?

 

[freecyclist]

You claim to be a keen cyclist, but you don't know what a pinch point is?

It's also known as a "pedestrian haven", where there is an island in the middle of the road for pedestrians to stop at when crossing.

I claim to be a keen cyclist as much as you claim to be a practising homosexual invloved in a secret liason with an undisclosed member of the england world cup rugby team.

You're rather unpleasant. Welcome to ignore.

So you're arguing from a position of total ignorance then?

Still not answering the question I see.

I thought we were on about out of town roads. But thats a good point, in town we pass with inches to spare sometimes, yet a car passes within feet and they are dangerous drivers?

Well majority of voices heard .
Maybe the normal cyclists just keep there heads down.

The militant ones are certainly more likely to pick up the bone then continue shaking it terrier like
