when turning right I get many people in cars overtaking me when I am near the white line just before turning, people will overtake, look and look again, never think they wont do it.
great videos but I reccommend to encourage safe riding have all example riders in Helmets Even though they are not required by law THEY SHOULD BE really and it sets a good example
NOPE just get on the pavement in those areas and reduce your speed to walking pace then get back on to the road and return to the default position then continue your journey.
Huh, I was wondering if I did something wrong when turning right. It turns out I was entirely correct.. A couple of cars beeped at me, and asked me "What do you think you're doing" when I had no choice but to be in that lane.
Why on earth is the guy at 3:26 coming the wrong way out of a one way street?!! You can clearly see the one way sign and the road markings for entry but not exit. The rest of the video is great, but talk about how NOT to cycle safely…
A lot to remember and one mistake could be costly. I’d leave a bit more time for the commute and stick to side streets (using the same principles of bossing the lane and avoiding car doors) and get off and walk at junctions I’m not confident with – safer, less stressful and less pollution.
The bicycles don't prove crash tests are trash. Bicyclists lives matters. Safe yourself and children on the road. Bicycle RUSSIA – the BEST!!! https://youtu.be/76I5P1ggYQI
when i'm trying to turn right, i do arm signal look back, but the cars behind me wont slow down so im forced to keep going straight.. people hate cyclists
I’d say it’s just best to stop somewhere in the default position and let the following traffic pass you by before making a right turn, especially if you’re gonna be stopping anyway to let the oncoming traffic go because it’s their right of way. So basically 2 stops rather than a quick glance and moving over and turning. Some people are right in the comment section here when they’re saying that people aren’t attentive and will not stop even if you’re signalling well in time. You’d rather slow down and get hooted at than get hit and injured. The glancing back and moving over and turning will then become smooth with time.
This is OK on the Not-so busy roads as per video, and if the car drivers accept you as a legitimate road user. Unfortunately neither of these is the norm. And most 'motor vehicle only' road users are unwilling to share the road with cyclists. 🙁
most cyclist don't look behind when turning i say this as a cyclist it is damn frustrating this video is a fantasy have lost count of the times fellow cyclists have come out a junction WITHOUT looking right.

Why are there so many without a cycle helmet on these videos? Not cool.
the thing that i dont like is the traffic has to slow down for you to turn right.

G'day, I'm a bloke from WA who intends on commuting on the road. This video has helped immenseley.

The moving out to the right before turning left seems flawed.
I just started cycling to work recently so this is extremely helpful, very clearly and concisely explained, thank you.

Easiest way ??
Slow down like basically be in a stationary and slightly moving position and check ur left to see if there's any car
No helmets ⛑! Not very good role models here…
Helmet should be worn!
Safe yourself and children on the road. Bicycle RUSSIA – the BEST!!!

Bros,
Just get off and cross like a pedestrian, it’s not worth the hassle
When turning left just imagine your bike is an arctic lorry. This pleases the drivers behind you 😂
Even with this helpful video, there are so many dickhead drivers (not all) who think they're in the right and when they're not.
Amazing they were all on the road, not the pavemant
I’m wondering if bike riders in real life will make gesture when they want to turn right. I just started riding in London and I don’t want to be weird
Never trust eye contact
And if you have a right wing mirror? Do you have to keep turning your head?
And to maintain eye contact? Most drivers aren’t even looking at you and too busy in their own world.
most cyclist don't look behind when turning
i say this as a cyclist
it is damn frustrating
this video is a fantasy
have lost count of the times fellow cyclists have come out a junction WITHOUT looking right.
