just got back from a hour n half bike ride, second on my new bike. IT WAS GREAT totally knackered tho, i accompanied my hubby (he was on a mobility scooter, top speed 8mph) i over took him a few times 
i put into practice the primary position everyone talks about, once when passing a traffic island and temporarily held up a car until i could move into secondary, my position i used to use was much nearer the curb. so thanks for all the information you guys have given me directly or indirectly on here. just after this one trip my confidence has grown enormously and i gotta say although half was round the local park the other was on the road and the drivers i came across were courteous,(it's a sunday tho lol) and other cyclists a joy, got chatting to a little lad with his bike walking up a steep bit right off for a bath now i stink ........
