A good question may be: what do we do when driving our cars and encounter a bicycle? Like you, I most often ride ~25+mph but recognize I could be doing 45mph and the driver behind will deem it necessary to pass. Maybe it is a case of thinking a quick pass will restore a safe lane for the biker.
I watch ahead and try to give the cyclist plenty of room a good rider will not hold you up much on these country roads I was amazed how fast the "Pros crossed a 3 mile mtn incline of course going off the other side they could keep ahead easily. That race was basically unannounced and caused a little confusion.
boring fairytale
I agree on some parts,OTH it has been shown to be historically accurate Jordan Peterson sez[ Live everyday as if God is real, there are many benefits] I used to be a literal"Pharisee" until common sense kicked in, it is a widely read book, also has some kooky interpretations.
Convenient interpretations?
Jordan Peterson is a regressive waste of space.Happy riding!
There's a guy on youtube who endorses fly fishing button-up shirts for cycling. The back is cut to give you room to swing your arms around. They're full coverage for sun protection, they dry quickly and they have good pockets. And as you mentioned, people are slightly less likely to try to run you over.
Good man, you have probably saved lives.
Dont sell Ol' Jordy too short,He does take too much time getting a point across, no worse than that Russian Guy Freidman.I think People at a certain level have trouble relating to commoners such as myself,I finally took the time to really listen to JP, upon reflection it made a lot of sense( most things anyway).
You ought to hear some of the things Christians have told me.
In Bellingham, we have a few intersections where there is a green "bicycle box" (or whatever you call them) that let bikes move ahead of the autos, though when coming from behind, I don't usually go around the cars to the front--I guess because I don't want to annoy drivers more than necessary. Those places also have a "no free right turn" sign across the intersection, but I have to wonder whether all drivers see those signs. I do get the impression, in dealing with traffic where it is unavoidable, that most drivers really don't want to hit me. I suppose they don't want the inconvenience of having to explain themselves to the police and their own insurance companies.
Actually, has some very racy parts, to the extent that I just heard about someone who is trying to get it banned from school libraries.
Christian bike riders, like myself have to learn to turn the other cheek and not let traffic make us do something stupid, pray for the 4 wheel driver, do not curse Him. We share the road and usually in an altercation we will be the ones covered with a blanket. We must always be aware we do not usually pay road use taxes and our machines usually will not out accelerate or keep up with a car,it doesnt matter how fast we go the drivers behind think we are holding them up. I was coasting down an incline fast approaching a stop sign and a young girl in a Pontiac just had to pass then turn right and stop a few yards later at the dumpsters,I went by her a few seconds later when she stopped.Patience, as the Apostle Paul[I have found out how to be content in any situation] if you cannot control your temper biking will not do you much good, a fast heart rate caused by stress or anger is really not the same as one caused by exercise
Sounds like things aren't that different between our cities. I find if I pull into traffic and can do 40 - 50 km/hr that cars generally don't try to pass me.
