During my usual, net-bicycling, I found this a "Bicycling Street Smarts guide - http://bikexprt.com/streetsmarts/
For us - Cycling Street Smarts, left-hand drive version - http://bikexprt.com/streetsmarts/lhd/index.htm
One of the very sane, very sensible and very much common sense'ible advise given on this site is "With very few exceptions, the safest way to ride is as part of the traffic". Not that it is very hard to follow, not that it is very exceptional piece of scientific knowledge which gets taught in the last semester of rocket-science and spacecraft engineering, but still something which a lot of cyclist ignore - be it zipping through the traffic, ignoring traffic lights, or even heading against the traffic, we do come across individual who, just to save a few seconds put their lives in danger.
To close today's blog entry, I would like to quote another, very apt line from this site/guide -"With very few exceptions, cyclists have the same rights – and responsibilities – as motorists".
Happy cycling,
ALB
