ABP, Always Be Passing. This cannot be overstated, it's a lot easier to deal with problems in your field of vision than ones rapidly approaching from behind. That's also why filtering is so important, and it's heinous that it's not allowed in some (most?) states. If you're able to filter you can use your superior acceleration to always be ahead of cars.
It's true of bikes too, that's why treating red lights as stop signs on a bicycle is something that needs wider legal adoption. I often do it anyway and it means that in city traffic I am sometimes able to traverse a block without ever being passed by a car.
- NoPicklez 4y ago"treating red lights as stop signs" as in being able to go through red lights? Or am I mistaken?
- thot_experiment 4y agoI'm not sure I understand your question precisely, but this article will probably answer it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho_stop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho_stop
- NoPicklez 4y agoSorry I didn't realise this existed, does it mean that as a cyclist you can ride through a red light permitted there is no traffic and you first come to a complete stop?
