I normally ride on 2-lane, 3-lane roads (i.e. Cantebury Rd) and when i do so i ride in the left-hand lane (obviously). However, i position myself so i am basically in line with the left wheel of a following car. I try to 'encourage' drivers indirectly to change lanes to get past me and so often is the case. Is that being too 'big' on the road or not 'big' enough?

Thanks
I would say, as you do. Obviously conditions vary but when taking the lane is justified then that is what I do. I suspect you're doing it right. No way am I going to be shoved off into the door zone [kill zone] when someone has one or 2 other lanes to choose from.

Big - in the UK there's a whole school of thought and published opinion on the theory of BIG which is largely correct IMO, if not a slightly longwinded way of making the point. Be big, be seen, assert your right and presence. [ahh, trailgumby's just added a link. Many thanks]

In Adelaide I regularly ride through our biggest, hairiest roundabouts [it's only that because Australian drivers often have no idea how to negotiate an RAB] where 5 roads intersect at the Britannia Hotel. The way to get through is psychological - sit up in the saddle, hands on brake levers, elbows slightly out, head up and looking for trouble or challenges. The posture is unmistakable: even THINK of getting in my way and I'm coming in through the windscreen to rip your throat out!!! As a cyclist you have few defenses, so psychology is important; if you look uncertain, or unsure of where you're going then car drivers will, without another thought, push past or pull out in front of you. I point lane changes and turns clearly, aggressively marking my space so there can be no misunderstanding. etc etc

If you dismiss it all as a game of chance then your are not helping yourself. Recognise that nearly all incidents ARE avoidable if YOU behave in the right way! Don't passively accept the dangers out there. Actively avoid them!


(I'm not trying to blame the victim here. I just saying there is things you can do to prevent accidents that are cause by others.)

Not sure if I totally agree with you on this, but mostly.

Be clear about your intentions, ride BIG, be assertive etc. I've been riding on roads for 40+ years and never been hit by another vehicle. All accidents have been entirely my fault or mechanicals, except the once when a fellow cyclist swerved into road bumps whilst I was on his wheel. Maybe a 50/50 deal.

1978 - riding to school - rear derailleur and chain disntegrated as I was sprinting through a busy intersection. Slid through the intersection, bloody but substantially unhurt
1979 - that bus I was drafting stopped a little too suddenly. Front wheel hit rear bumper at about 10kmh and the forks folded gracefully backward. No injuries.
1980 - riding to uni - front wheel tacoed in a pothole on Payneham Road - slid down the road from 50kmh to 0khm, looked up and saw a car bumper bar stopped less than a metre from my head. Blood, grazes, substantially unhurt
1980 - finished a hard effort to Morialta Falls carpark, leaned back, hands off bars. Alloy seatpost sheared, I landed on the remains and then bounced onto the back wheel, which collapsed. There was blood, pain, a visit or two to the doctor
1984 - riding to play soccer with friends - wet day, wet drain cover. Slid, tore up my chin pretty badly.
2000 - descending Montacute Road solo, took sweeping left too hot at about 50kmh, went wide, endoed over a rock, smashed helmet all through the rear, scrapes and bruises
2003 - new bike - hit paint line on wet morning, slip. Chipped humerus. Extremely painful
2004 - hit road bump at about 45kmh as above, broken collar bone etc
And you keep cycling.

huh? Not sure I get it. :D :D :D :D

Obviously it's my skills need polishing, not my balls. :roll:

But, to be honest, these are mostly self-inflicted wounds and I understand and accept the risks. I'm lucky, and count myself lucky in that the major accidents have been brief bouts of pain. I have a friend who dumped it in the Hills a year ago and she's only just got the all clear to get back on the bike from what could easily have been a fatal accident. Cycling is a dangerous enough activity because of the high speeds attained and the lack of protection afforded the cyclist. It can become a very painful incident very quickly. I try, as much as possible, to minimise the other variables (other vehicles on the road, for instance). So far I've been pretty good at doing so, but if your point is that the list is rather extensive, looking at it like that, I agree. But then again, pretty sure there's a couple I forgot..

1977 - Kangaroo Island - cycling tour 1st night - midnight near Parndana, hit rear of fellow cyclist (idiot) who stopped in middle of road to check directions. 12 stitches in right knee and end of cycling holiday. Maybe 50/50

Today. Was Trying to overtake a Car awaiting to reverse Parallel parking.

Turn my head , figured no cars behind ill cross over the tram track and overtake the car.

Next thing i know my front wheel slipped into the track, despite the fact I TURN WITH CAUTIONS AND with about 25 degree.

Yet my front wheel still managed to slipped, Must be the tyre.... I blame the front tyre.

As ive been doing this on my other bike with no problems.

Anyone ever feel off when they try to manoeuvre over the tram tracks?

Nicely put Rustychisel, it is about riding the fine line between assertive and arrogant. Smokeboxers are like dogs, they can sense fear.

I am just curious what drove you to run a red light in front of a car? Did you not see it, not look?

The other tack against this is that as one gains more experience and stick to a routine, one also tends to become more complacent.

Apart from the obvious stacks doing tricks as a kid, I've only had one actual crash, which was in my first 100kms riding around Sydney on a road bike.

Coming down a hill at about 40 to a green light, I was far enough behind the cars in front that I was safe, but I was doing the polite thing as it was a 60 zone and keeping to the left I wasn't far enough back to be properly visible. A bloke heading in the other direction waiting to turn right didn't see me and turned across in front of me. I t-boned his passenger door. I got out of it pretty lightly; bent my drops out at 45°, buckled front wheel, a few bruises and a broken thumb and ring finger. Also got to spend the afternoon in hospital as a lady called an ambulance, which in hindsight was good as it meant my broken thumb was diagnosed straight away.

It put me out of training for 3 months though which was a bit of a nuisance, but lesson learned and I haven't really had a close call in >1000kms even riding on the main roads.

My own experience, I have been hit by a car once, and at the time I was cycling on a dedicated cycle path! I got t-boned by a car exiting a driveway at speed, failing to stop and check the pedestrian footpath (first), then continuing and failing to check either direction of the bi-directional dedicated cyclepath. Just plain dumbness on the part of the driver. How many kms I had done or how long I had been cycling were not factors. All it takes is one stupid driver not looking where they are going.
You know the same thing happened to me many years ago. I was going along a reserved part of the road when a car (well, a taxi) just came straight out in front of me without looking as he assumed there was no vehicle in the reserved part of the road where cars aren't allowed. One fundamental difference in my case though: the reserved part of the road was not a bike path but tram tracks and I was driving a tram not riding a bike. He left in a tow truck with a written off car, I drove off having lost a coat of paint :lol:

never fallen. 2 things may cause falls on tram tracks:
1. reliance on the tyre to grip the road surface (steel tram track) while turning (i.e. leaning your bike). it won't grip and you'll fall.

lesson: be very careful when cornering over tram tracks, particularly in the wet. try to avoid altogether by 'squaring off' the tracks - i.e. riding straight over them at an oblique angle.

2. 'tram lining' - when you cross the tram tracks at a shallow angle and the front tyre decides that it quite enjoys staying on the steel tracks - you lose steering and crash.

lesson: don't cross tracks at a shallow angle.

i choose from 2 techniques to avoid these hazards:
1. pull a small mono over each track, or
2. when crossing at a shallow angle (i.e. riding in the same direction as the tracks), get out of the seat and 'whip' the bike sideways over the tracks - the bike isn't relying on the tyre to grip the tracks as it passes over them, so it won't slip.

also remember it's the front tyre that matters - don't worry about what the rear does.

Good advice.

Tram tracks are fine if you know how to handle them.

exactly what you said, I learnt the hard way. It's the front wheel, that decided to slip it in.

I've got road rashes now and was thinking how long I have to put off my training.
Grrrr , can't wait to ride again....

Thanks for the tips. I'll make sure I learn how to 'whip' the bike sideways.

It's amazing that you have never fallen and know all this techniques. I myself do not have the luxury of friends who are willing to teach me a thing or 2.

Its about knowing and understanding grip and bike dynamics.

Many cyclists, just like many motorists, just operate in a cocoon expecting the vehicle to go where the steering input tells it to. You need to be aware of the limited grip of your tyres and what causes the limits of that grip to be exceeded. On BV forums I've had cyclists try to argue that tram tracks are a game of chance and sometimes it is impossible not to slip. :roll:

When riding parallel to tram tracks in the wet then whipping the bike across is extremely important.

It's not the tyre. Not only do you need to be careful about the angle you need to be careful about the turn. Essentially you want to keep the turn (and thus the lean) as minimal as possible when crossing the tracks.

Furthermore were you seated? Bad idea. No suspension. Stand up and be soft over the bumps and your bike will grip far better. Always stand off your seat if you are manoeuvring over anything bumpy.

what about this if we were to play devils advocate? re: claiming lane?


129 Keeping to the far left side of a road
(1) A driver on a road (except a multi-lane road) must drive as near as practicable to the far left side of the road.
Note Multi-lane road is defined in the dictionary.
(2) This rule does not apply to the rider of a motor bike.
Note Motor bike is defined in the dictionary.
(3) In this rule:
road does not include a road-related area.
Note Road-related area includes the shoulder of a road — see rule 13.

130 Keeping to the left on a multi-lane road
(1) This rule applies to a driver driving on a multi-lane road if:
(a) the speed-limit applying to the driver for the length of
road where the driver is driving is over 80 kilometres
per hour; or
(b) a keep left unless overtaking sign applies to the length
of road where the driver is driving.

You'd have to be unlucky, though. Most of the time the rear will step out and then step back if you have enough momentum and you're not attempting something like a high angle of lean in a turn.

Yep, the only time I've come off the bike since returning to riding in a big way a couple of years ago was stuffing up a tram track crossing. My front wheel caught and I went over. Not fun. Still, I felt more in control than when I drove a tram off the tracks once ;)

I've got one to add to the pile.

Hit by a car from behind. I have no clear recollection of the accident except for the fraction of a second between becoming airborne and hitting the windscreen. That seemed like minutes... From what I've been able to reconstruct, I signaled to cross to the centre line for a right hand turn, did a quick head check, but just didn't perceive the vehicle before moving over. Fractured skull, 60 + stitches, two weeks in hospital plus skin grafts. It was a long time ago but it was a lesson I only needed to learn once.

I've had a couple of other scrapes but nothing out of the ordinary. On several occasions I've been squeezed into the kerb by motorists (and buses) trying to turn left. Now I take a little more of the road so that they can see I'm going straight forward. I had one major OTHB courtesy of a sand drift at the bottom of a downhill run. Fortunately sand is softer than tarmac.

The moral of the story: Stay alert, keep your speed appropriate to the traffic conditions, don't cycle too close to the kerb, signal clearly, and check twice before changing lanes.

+ 1

i was oversimplifying - the rear matters, but it's a lot less important than the front. the primary risk is when inexperienced riders over-react to a rear wheel (or any) slide with violent steering inputs, which will bring you down. just ignore it, relax, let it squirm around behind you and you'll usually be right. same principle for controlling a car (not on public roads).

They are all in the provisions of Rule 129 & 130 that csy75 quoted. I just took the alternate perspective - what is permissible rather than what the rule bans.

For all drivers, they must keep in the left lane of multi-lane roads with speed limits >80kmh, unless overtaking or turning right. On roads of 80kmh or less any lane may be used. On roads with just two lanes (one each way) you (all drivers) must keep as far left as practicable*, but if there are issues that make it impracticable (drivers shaving too close, parked cars, road lanes about to narrow) you may ride out from the left as far as you need.

Pretty straight-forward really, once you know how to read the rule jargon.
