How To Cycle In A City

1. I wish we also had great cycling infrastructure in my city Windhoek, Namibia. Cycling my city can be very dangerous
2. Try cycling in india😁😁😁😂😂😂
3. What about NOT going up the inside of lorries?
4. Go and refilm this in Copenhagen to contrast with London. You might want to be a bit wary of the obvious distractions on a sunny day though...
5. Great vid, and I am glad that you linked to a video to bring back Dan's Green Pants.
6. !. Assume no one sees you.
   2. When riding along parked cars, ride a bit further away and into the lane being hyper aware of door opening(look ahead for people inside, front tires being turned outward.)
   3. Try to read what drivers are doing while appearing NOT to notice them. This may sound wrong but its been my experiance that if a driver sees that you see him, they are much more likely to cut you off doing a turn at an intersection. I assume they think you will slow down for them. Of course always pay attention to them but just make it look like you don't notice them. Drivers like to bully you but if they think you don't see them about to cut in front of you they are less likely to try it.
   4. Know the rules of the road. The more you know the better because most drivers are idiots and haven't a clue what the laws are and think you HAVE to be on the side of the lane etc etc but often(depending on jurisdiction) you have the same rights they do and can take the middle IF you feel you should for safety. Of curse I don't encourage folks to hog the lane just don't feel like you have to ride along right beside cars whos doors could fly open just because.
   5. If night riding, buy a very powerful light. This may piss some drivers off but a pissed off driver is a driver who has seen you. When its dark and wet with reflections it looks like lights are everywhere and if you just have a plane weak light it will just be another little white light among hundreds, get a bright one that looks like a vehicle light. You will get WAY more respect on the road because cars will think you are another one of them plus its difficult for them to judge where and how fast you are going so they will often stop rather than pull in front. Its about tricking drivers into thinking you can hurt them because when they know you are just a bike they disrespect you and will bully you which unfortunately puts your life at risk. Trust me, no car driver gives a toot if their lights affect you.
   6. In general, ride with a second option always available. For example, don't tail a car too close in case they must brake hard or if your brakes fail have enough room to pull along side. This is a skill that brakeless fixie riders would have mastered and is really a super useful tool.
   7. Never assume drivers will use turn signals. Watch for brake lights and front wheels or even driver sillhouette for signs they may want to turn. They will look for other drivers but not you so they will do what drivers do when turning, just watch for these behaviors, slowing being a typical sign of a turn. Try not to be along side a car just in case it decides to turn into you. Better to be behind or ahead.
