Do People Get Annoyed If You Don’t Use Poorly Designed Cycle Lanes?

Do people sometimes get annoyed when you choose not to use a poorly designed cycle lane? If a cycle lane is poorly designed and could put you in a risky position, it may be better to ride in the main traffic flow.

In this clip, we discuss how positive interactions with other road users can help break down barriers and help people driving understand why you’re choosing to ride in a particular position on the road.

This clip is from the full film ‘The Problem with Painted Cycle Lanes: Lessons from London’. 🚲

IMPORTANT NOTE ON HOW YOU RIDE:
This channel shows videos of cycling that intend to stimulate reflection and discussion on how we ride so we can all develop as riders.

I cannot take responsibility for how you ride after you watch the videos. The cycling shown may not be suitable for all situations. Remember that you may need to be flexible when you ride and you should always adhere to the rules for cycling in your area. Cycle training with a qualified instructor can be invaluable, whatever your level of experience, so check out options in your area. If you or your workplace would like me to deliver training for you, then please get in touch via email.
