Vehicle awareness.
I don't ride bike lanes or MUPs, just on the road. Most of my travels are commutes with the same cars every day.
- If I can stay in the flow of traffic, I take the lane.
- At stop lights or signs, I take the lane.
- I never pass a car on the right at an intersection.
- If I sense a car behind me and it is a winding road, I work with them to help them clear me. Most are appreciative.
