It's about communication and awareness If you make eye contact with that HGV driver and show him you're going to pull into the lane in front of him and give him a thumbs up when he lets you, everyone's a winner. 2. ride assertively - not aggressively but still asserting your equal right to the road 3. cover your brakes 4. it's not such a good idea to keep your thumbs on top of the handlebars if there's a chance of your hands slipping off and you losing control 5. helmets are not necessarily a good idea (check cyclehelmets.org) 6. Shouting is a lot more immediate and loud than fumbling for a bell. 1. make eye contact with other road users – they are people too. It’s about communication and awareness
