Both on the politeness *and* the speed stakes. Now if only my tricycle were a bit narrower, I could do the same on the numerous stops on the Lanark / Slateford / Dalry Road. Perhaps I should think about a Raptobike? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4773#post-50775 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 09:56:33 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 50775@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My cheery hail through the open window of the Fiesta that had twice had the the unstoppable imperative to overtake. He <em>was</em> looking out for me. I was passed with lots of room, and very quickly, towards the bottom of Johnstone Terrace. <em>Just</em> before the queue of traffic at the roadwork lights at the bottom that I filtered past.</p> <p>At the next I had positioned at a junction for a just-afterwards right hand turn and he slunk up my left side. Thing is he was making the same right turn and so had to take it reeeeeaaaaaallllly wide because I covered those first 20 yards just as quickly. Hell, he even had a head start of a couple of yards with the junction positioning.</p> <p>Bingo. As expected. Queue of traffic a further 60 yards on. Filter to front of the queue, giving my greeting as I pass.</p> <p>Cars are soooooo much quicker than bikes. </p>
