Take control of the lane and be prepared to be rear ended by a distracted texting driver, or constantly beeped at by an incensed motorist, that about sums up London in my experience.

Aka; how to deal with bad infrastructure.

This is a nice skill to have, but I guess 95% of potential cyclists would feel very uncomfortable filtering on multilevel main roads. I'm glad, that where I'm living (Berlin) most of the streets have bike lanes or bike paths, I get somewhat nervous when riding on a multilane main road without any bike infrastructure since many drivers don't respect you taking the lane and filter and overtake you too tight.

Why are some number plates blurred out but others not?

I can see now that this is mainly shot in Crystal Palace 😊 ... good advice, thanks for the video.

also, always use lights to improve visibility, flashing lights in traffic make you more distinct both from behind, but also in rearview mirrors and the like!

let's see... not filtering in the first place by getting your politicians to build bicycle infrastructure.

one can dream.

Nice one. While keeping to the general theme, in fast moving traffic, of "stay as nearside as possible", confident cycling can can allow you to overtake slow or stalled traffic on the offside. Just a few thing to really look out for: Car doors being opened as you approach and, more frequently, pedestrians crossing between slow or stalled traffic - especially from in front of vans, trucks and buses!

North east style is jump on the payment hop on the road, use the speed bumps to boost your speed, bunny hop over potholes great fun.

The only problem seems to be when the traffic starts moving again. No worries here in Germany, as it never starts moving again.

It's like you are almost invisible when you are cycling. Some people will push you off lane forcefully or hit you as if you don't exist. But whenever I am on my motorcycle, suddenly people start to see you as another driver and become more mindful (still not as much as the car drivers).

If you follow along with the congested traffic, YOU ARE contributing to the traffic congestion.

I always stay behind, I enjoy bike as corner at 20mph and not slow to a crawl like cars, tempted to maybe filter now but I do feel it is rude as there is only 2 lanes on most roads, no one put a middle lane for motorbikes and bicycles to be on so should be on the 2 actual lanes
