My new cycling defence-tactic against dangerous drivers...

Army cadets? Had a mate in there and seem to remember him saying folding the right leg over the left to spread the weight

Indeed, we had a shooting range at school where they taught us how to shoot.

When in prone there is never a need to cross your legs. The best way to spread your weight (i.e. to be stable) is to bring your knee on your dominant side up towards your torso. not too high or it will hurt your back.

The raised knee also helps when breathing/aiming as it lifts your chest off the floor and makes controlling the rifle easier.

Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe half out, squeeze trigger, breathe out, breathe in and repeat. I would also wrap the loose strap round my right arm to get really good control over the weapon.

Wear a helmet in case you bash your own head in.

Or even if you don't get last long enough to bash your own head in ...

Watch-pocket? who has one of those in lycra?!

Is that a gun under your Lycra or are you just happy to see me

As in most situations in life, the mighty Chuck Norris can help here. When my commute got less bike friendly - http://thelangsett.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/incontinence-supplies-at-internet-prices.html - I realised straight away that what I needed was backwards firing rockets launchers, like the ones Chuck has in Delta Force.

Oh, and those uncannily accurate machine guns.

And epic facial hair.
