MoM on Bike,

I agree. When I spoke with several colleagues about cycling on the road, I realised that they don't really know what it entails, how fast we go, why we do certain things etc. After explaining to them why we don't hug the curb etc, then they understand we don't do things coz we're arrogant or obnoxious, and they kinda watch out for cyclists on the road more.

That said, many cyclists i know have annoying road habits. if i were a driver i would be soooo pissed off too. cyclist or not.

but yes i understand the reference to to the general driver, not the pissed off driver. and i totally agree that the knowledge that that cyclist could be someone's loved one does make them more understanding and treat cyclists as humans rather than something taking up space on the road.
