Ah yes - good advice Goddess 1222. Always important to keep an eye out for tottie.

My tip for road riding, don't ride too near the edge of the road. This might not apply where you guys are but here in England a lot of the roads, even main roads, are quite narrow, many of them don't have hard shoulders, and some drives like to force their way past you.

While you don't want to ride in the middle of the road, I try not to get too close to the edge either. Not only is the edge usually covered in all kind of road debris just waiting to give you a puncture, but if a car does go by a bit close I've got space to move away.

Oh yes - and watch those speed limits. Can they book you for speeding on a road bike??
