    Red Postie Bike, New North Road, 12:50pm.

    You have excellent, and confident bike handling skills, I have no doubt you are skilled in that respect. You would do well on a race track no doubt.

    I say this because I want you to consider one aspect of your riding. Please understand that I'm only trying to help.

    Car drivers have a bad habit of opening their doors without looking. Most drivers are thinking about something like their cat, or work once they turn the key off. They treat their car door like a house door, not a traffic hazard.

    When you use the left hand lane to overtake, and there are parked cars in it, you are expecting a very wide range of people to be looking before they open their door.

    Keep enough space between you and parked cars to avoid their doors. And overtake on the right, if possible.

    Cheers,

    Chris.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Almost shat my pants there, but NO it wasn't me

    He was probably riding back to the delivery office and felt the need to let off some steam (as we do).

    Overtaking on the inside is naughty, but nice.

    Doing it too close to parked cars is farkin stuuuupid.

    It's one of the DON'Ts and if he comes off he may end up in the brown stuff; in more ways than one.

    Yes. But I assumed West was the New North.
