These tips are especially good. Not because I have discovered these things by myself but because they really work. I have added some finesse to my traffic behaviour. When pedestrians give me some road to pass them I allways politely say thanks. They think that bike commuters are good people because they are so polite and smile a lot. I ride my bicycle to ride my bicycle. Hello!

When I let myself get mad, it puts a damper on an otherwise enjoyable activity. Most offending motorists are probably not bad people any more than we are, they are simply unenlightened. I'm finding myself sharing more and more with my non-riding friends about experiences riding with traffic, in the hopes of enlightening them. Is that cycling evangelism? Well that makes me a holy roller! Ride on! Wise tips – I especially like #1. When I let myself get mad, it puts a damper on an otherwise enjoyable activity.
