Driving [yes most of us do at some point] yesterday I found myself following a lad on a bike.
No big deal but it was the way he rode. He was quick [I clocked him at 30 - 35 at one point] knew exactly where to be on the road for maximum safety and least inconvenience to everybody else. When we came to a 'pinch point' it was, glance behind [which a lot of riders seem to think unnecessary, it's always some one else's fault if I get hit] assume primary position through and back to the side as soon as was safe, no drama no 'hogging the road' [as sadly some do] . He turned off a bit later again with the glance behind then a signal. Nothing really special t was just good textbook safe riding..
Like I said no big deal just nice to see a good rider. There are so many muppets on the road [on two wheels and four] that a bit of skill stands out somehow.
